[Roughcountry]

Got to feelin bad about all the yakin and no pics. There are three little forked horn CFU's here [ cougar food units] One's behind the tree and one had lost one horn. We were seeing who would blink first. They never did leave, I just walked off.

This shed antler from a Scottish Red Stag is about the best I've ever seen, 7 points.

Awesome find Jock that is gorgeous.

[Glenn Newell]

Thar's a good looking antler Jock, does the bay tine have a basil snag coming off it?...Glenn...

[Jock]

Thanks Tim, my buddy's a Head Stalker on the Isle Of Jura, his son hunts shed antlers for the eastern market(very lucrative)and came home one day with this antler and it's neighbor, made hime an offer he couldn't refuse and aquired them both  :D  

Glenn, good to see you posting again. No, what you're seeing is actually a small leaf under the Bay tine.

Glen, Did you get my bow built yet? Just kidding Bud! Hope your new house is comming along nicely! CK

[Glenn Newell]

House is coming along Curtis, a bit slow since a fire wiped me out of work truck and all of my tools on a house I was renovating, but I'm getting going with a few tools again. Roof is arriving thismorning and after the roof is on I will take a few days off and do some goat and pig hunting...Glenn...

[Glenn Newell]

Beautifull looking Jock, "Monarch of the Glen" country. Are roe deer native or introduced to Scotland?...Glenn...

[Jock]

Glenn,
Roe and Red are indigenous here, Fallow were introduced by the Romans, Sika, Muntjack and Chinese Water Deer have all been introduced in modern times  

[Roughcountry]

Great pic Luke, make my legs shake.

John, I'll try an get some good pics this spring, thats our pretty time in the hills. I didn't draw a spring bear tag but I'm gonna help a couple other hunters spot.
I'll try to get some decent shots. Wished I could get the sounds and smells on film.

Went up & pulled my winter camp out today. There was a fresh dusting of snow up high and this fella was showin off.

I was camoed as a dodge pickup, he though the desil engine was doin a gobble or something I guess.

[Roughcountry]

I took this picture on the way down of some of our elk winter ground. It's just starting to get a green tint and I found a few groups of elk laying in the sun with the binos.

[Jock]

Robin,
That's more like it    specially the landscape  

[Longbowwally]

Got my first turkey with the bow this morning - a jake. Had rain off and on this morning- as soon as it stopped after a heavier than usual downpour, the field I was hunting in came alive with game. Saw about 15 deer, then shot this jake about 9:40 a.m., then had another opportunity on a jake but passed as we can only shoot one turkey per day here in NC.
The big 160 grain snuffer hit the bird at the top of the drumstick quartering away, he tried to fly down into the woods and made it aboout 75 yards. The string tracker, setup per Guru's instructions    ,made the recovery a snap. This bird left a pretty good blood trail but I was still glad I was using the string tracker.
 

Here's a pic of the other jake and a deer:
