Super Thread here! Congrats on all the really great pictures you guys have posted. Here's some from sheep hunting in Montana's Sun River country. Not quite the quality of most of the pictures posted on here. My excuse is these pictures have all been scanned from old prints and 35mm slides. These first four show what it's like backpacking in though cold conditions in November.

Here are a few pics of my first elk hunt in Idaho. Archery, DIY, OTC on public land. I'm hooked!!! I need to get better at taking pics out in the field though..

After my shot the band of rams moved out right under me. A nervous time - did I shoot the right ram?

Yes!

Great pics Mike! I see I'm not the only one who wears jeans when hunting.

Wow, some really cool photos! Here are a few of mine . These were taken with a Kodak Instamatic back in the day. I agree with Scott about taking lots of photos to save the memories. There were so many places I've been that I'll never see again. I wish we had digital cameras back then or cool phones at least. My back packing days are pretty much over and I wish I had taken more photos. Theses are from Montana.

A few more. I just lost one of my hunting partners...my mom, who was on so many hunts with me through the years. I've hunted my whole life with my family...great memories! Mom was 88.

Some more Sun River backpacking for bighorn sheep with my friend Tom, who had the tag. It was September, 1995. We were backpacked in about 12-miles over two passes. Same general area as my earlier sheep hunting pictures.

A couple more from our 1995, Sun River trip. After Tom got his ram we we packed the meat, horns and cape to a spot near the first pass we needed to cross getting out. There we cached everything except a rack of ribs and headed back to camp, down in the bottom of the drainage. Picture of me eating some not so tender ribs. Next morning we packed our camp to the top of the first pass and then went back down partway to where we stashed the sheep. Hauled it up to the pass and prepared or packs for carrying every thing out the rest of the way.
