Two girls who graduated from high school together

My boys and their bucks

A pretty good rack

Three amigos

Tranquility

Evening shadows

Progress probes the plains

More progress

Sunset on a soft meadow

Towering over the treetops

Bramble of branches

A gaggle of geese giving it the gas

One last sunset shot

Nice looking bucks your son's got there, Soapweed. Iowa's shotgun deer season doesn't begin until the first of the month. Don't tell me those are wind turbines going up in the lush and beautiful Sand Hills

Thank God for progress or we wouldn't be able to enjoy each others pictures and stories.
The boys got some pretty nice bucks. By the time frame it doesn't seem that the new camp gear got worn out.

Now. Leanin H. You can see the proper use of a tractor for hunting. Notice the grapple, used for entwining brush and grass for construction of a blind. Also the height attained by the loader, handy for looking over the next rise before sky-lining the whole rig, not to mention the redundancy of old fashioned tree stands.
Finally, note how harvested deer are used for decoys.


As always, great pictures and story, Thanks Soapweed.

Some pretty nice bucks. Deer season started here Oct. 19 and runs until Nov. 30. We have quite a few hunters here, usually with antelope and deer season we will have about 140-160 hunters come out here by the time the season is over.

I guess if your using the deer for decoys they look more alive hanging that way. In our area we usually hang them from the hind legs.

Ain't that a wind turbine in the Tranquility picture. It's turbine up the water.

Good Bucks. Good boys.

Exactly right, Shortgrass. Nice bucks. Always amazed me that guys could pull such beauties out of those hills.

So if Soapweed's boys use a motorized deivce to fill their tags its okey dokey? But if i show some pictures doing almost the same thing, let the beating begin? Sure does show a fella his place! Sure i am clear out here on the desert and kinda new to the whole "ranchers pecking order". I realize that i am much, much, much younger and clearly not nearly as old.... i mean wise! But ya'll have hurt my feelings!
Really nice bucks! Loved the sunset shots and the honkers! I gladly bow to your greatness! And thanks to the rest of ya for your helpful ideas and comments! Whatever would i do without ya?
