I hope when it is time for you guys to change your wallpaper I can provide you with a picture of that buck with a bullet hole in him! :D

Never the less that picture gets my trigger finger twitching every time I see it! :twisted:
 
The black and white photos are both of the same bear, an Alaskan pan handle grizz near the Salmon Glacier. I shadowed him up the creek to where he went under a logging bridge and that is where I got the photo from above him. It shows the claws quite well. I also have a bunch of photos of him chasing salmon in the creek and swimming around in a pond of to the side of the creek. I grabbed a roll of black and white film from my bag by misstake but the photos look ok.
 
Hornhunter, why'd you let him get away? That looks like the perfect texas heart shot! I don't know why you'd want him anyway, that stuff on his head doesn't look like it tastes very good! :lol:
 
holy cow, or i mean bull... wow did it take long to get him out of the bush??

Here's more of the story:

After putting up with pouring rain, mud, 15" of wet snow that flattened our tent(with me in and unable to move because I was pinned like a bug to my cot), 90 kph wind that flattened huge areas of poplar, hours of opening up roads and seismic lines and other miscellaneous crap, this was the result

He stepped out on a line just as I came out of the bush. Broadside looking at me. Rifle up, count points(4 big ones on each brow palm), shift point of aim. Boom.

The range was about 35 yds. The bullet clipped the point of his elbow, took out part of the heart, liquified the bottom of both lungs and carried on. He tipped over after about 30 more yds . There was a second shot that hit him but we won't go into that. A third killing shot(not required but.....) at very close range finished him.

We(4 of us) had spent about 6 hours opening up an old road behind our camp so that we could get to a couple of seismic lines. It took another hour of cutting out the seismic line by 7 of us to get our ATVs to him. We have an aluminum trailer that will hold a whole moose. We were in and out in about 3 hours.

He dressed out at 640 lbs at the butchers. He had a 43" spread with 8 points on each side. It was sure nice not to agonize over the number of brow points.

(For non-BCer's information, in the area where we hunted, mature moose must have 3 or more points on one of their brow palms)
