So, pictures of.....

[Spikebuck]

This picture isn't that clear, and it is with a trail camera vs me taking it directly, but posting because it's not all that common to get a predator with it's prey.

Great photo Mike. Did you have hopes of such an image when lining up the camera toward that snag?

Best regards, Skychief.

To all:

Let's try to keep the subject of our pictures focused on wildlife.

Technically, I should move this topic to the Photo section because it really isn't about hunting.

On the other hand, I know that hunters love pictures of wildlife and the critters that appear in them.
They like seeing them and their surroundings not just because they hunt them. They like seeing them because they appreciate the animal for what it is and the surroundings because that is a part of nature the creature lives in, which they love.

For these reasons, I'm leaving this topic in the Hunting section of the forum but as I asked, please keep the subjects of the pictures focused on the critters. Not lakes, trees and sunsets.

The two deer to the right look like they are wondering if he will make it!

My weapons of choice (only muzzleloaders I have. :^/) for small/large game hunting. Both are 58 cal trade guns.

Actually, this is a crop of the left side of a larger picture, hence some of the loss of clarity. I actually tried to knock that "not-quite-yet-rotten" stump thing down, but it was a lot more solid than it looks! Turns out that owl must have liked it because I had a number of pictures of him sitting on it, but this is the only one where he had a catch in his beak!

But this thread started with a butterfly. That's not exactly "Traditional Muzzleloader Hunting", is it?

No, but it was inspired by, and started with a comment about the appreciation of things of the hunt other than just the kill. That it doesn't take a dead animal at the end to make a good hunting story.
Of course, we did start with some very artistic/talented pictures of wildlife and natural things of beauty, pictures taken with talent to both get the opportunity and to execute taking the photo, and now have digressed to trail cam. pictures. Not that trail cam. pics can't be interesting, but, it's not the same thing as, "look at this glorious example of nature's beauty and wonder that I saw while hunting/scouting."

Hope you like them.
A gun was to hand when I photographed the above but I resisted with all my strength shooting any of them. It was difficult but I came through.
I have thousands of photos but don't want to swamp this place.

YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, BITSMOOTHY.
