    ...as in deer, elk, moose and other big game animal racks of course ;)

    I'm a hunter but I'm also a Boone and Crocket & a Pope and Young measurer and I love to see pictures and hear peoples stories on how they were successful in their harvest of a big game animal.

    Here is a few of mine from over the years.

    I harvested this 8 pointer last fall

    That's a real nice high racked 8! Very nice deer.

    Yeah and I've taken a tree or two in my time too :whistle: Pretty sure there is another version of Loon's first picture but from a different angle with a wounded tree in the background :rofl: :lol:

    Another great buck! An archery harvest 200 yards from your front door :bug:That's one hell of a good shot...I'm not sure I could do that with a rifle.:D

    Did you have this deer scored? Looks like a P&Y deer.

    That's a heck of a good start:yes: Eastern wild turkeys were re-introduced into Ontario in the late 80's and it's been a great success story. From a little under 300 birds they multiplied to around 50,000 by the late 90's. I've yet to take a long beard but have gotten a couple jakes. Our season opens in about a month and I'm looking forward to getting out with my son to see if he can get his first bird.

    Edit: Love the digital camo:yes:

    Unprofessionally scored about 131 and change.
    BTW, the shot was 36 yds, double lung, saw him crashed at about 70 yds.
