Back at the truck; beer in hand.

I aint been much fer posting pics as of late. Truth is I’ve been kinda soured by it. Seems like a lot of it is all a dick swingin’contest. And as much as the sound of that might appeal to me, I’ve decided to back off it for awhile.

Plus, it’s been great to enjoy the wilderness with just my own eyes. No critique. No judgment. Just me, and good company, in the wilderness. Nothing to prove to nobody.

It felt good.

But it’s tough. I really like to take pictures. I enjoy looking at them later; reminiscing. For art. For memories. And occasionally to swing mine around too.

Had the chance yet again to hunt with some fine folks. Takers? Hooligans? Fancy free liberals? Shoot no…them’s is good people.

Looks flat? It AINT!


Who the hell needs that damn Chukar organization when you have springs like these?


He might not be a yellow lab, but variety is the spice of life. All’s I need is a dead, burnt cedar and some italicized Italian wording and I’d have me pic worth suing over!


Swingin’ it. Don’t let it hit ya in the face.

Exhibitionist!

I always thought posting pics was a way of sharing the joy of the hunt with like-minded people who appreciate such things. Kind of the cyber version of meeting back at the campfire to tell tales of the days events. Could be wrong.

Nice pics anyway.

[RuttCrazed]

Nice pics, but why do you have to always be like that?

I am with you Kind of...............I used to share lots of pics of my hunts to the prairies and everywhere else but it always turned into like Zim said a "swinging contest" it seemed and certain people used to make jabs about trying to show others up with the success so I have (not that anybody noticed) pretty much quit as well but thanks Zim for the pics I do enjoy your work as well as everybody elses!

[Gordon]

I like em despite the facial

[12 Volt Man]

Nice pics as always. You didn't have to make the cryin' jabs about previous events though. We're tying to move on here. Some of us still have post traumatic stress disorder from the last battle.

[Nor-tah]

I always miss all the action. Dont know about the last battle?? Great pics though and nice work in the late season. Get any pics of your dogs?

[Theekillerbee]

Nice pics Caleb. Thanks for takin the time to post them up. No worries about swingin things around me, I've got mad surgical skills that will turn the swingers into motionless piles of necrotic flesh!

[chukarorbust]

Nice pictures for sure. What did you do the rest of the morning?

Ryan.

I like seeing the pictures... inspires me to get out and get involved in something I've only barely had a taste of. Looks like a great time out hunting Zim. I'd like to see more pics of your dogs too... the one Gordon looks like a pretty dog.

Zim, I think ya should change the title of the last photo to "The Money Shot" Nice work

[Kim S.]

Nice pics, Zim!!

Personally (and I don't think it has anything to do with 'swingin'" ), I love seeing photos and reading the adventures of everyone's hunts. There's a lot more that happens out there besides the number of birds killed....that's always a nice bonus but I can have a grand time and never pull the trigger once. Now, if I get the chance to shoot something and miss or the bird is lost for some reason, that haunts me, but I am there more for the dog work than anything else. I guess that's why I can be happy "hunting" with a blank gun too.

Keep the pics coming. Yours are among the best and besides, it is the only real evidence that we aren't just sitting in front of computers all day making up stories and taking shots at one another. Like Kim, I don't think it has to do with any swinging or swagger. I do have to say that terrain does actually look a little bit flat to me. You think them are pen birds or the real thing?

[Chuk&Duck]

Nice dude!!!
