Here's a few pictures from our hunting
experiences.
Here's a late season doe from December, 2008. I've taken some deer hands-free with my crossbow, but this was the first with rifle.
Here's my buck from the 2008 archery season. Letting all the small bucks go last year really seemed to pay off with the bucks we've had out here this fall. Here's one that came in that I just couldn't resist. Same setup as last year being totally hands free, but this one is with my new TenPoint crossbow. Click here for the full story.
2007 seemed to be the year of the small racks in our area, so I passed on a lot of bucks. I put up this doe with my crossbow early in the archery season. Kind of neat for me as this one was totally hands free as my good arm has gotten quite a bit worse. I used a tab on the back of the crossbow to point it, and a sip trigger switch from BeAdaptive to fire.
Here's our 2007 Thanksgiving dinner.
Here's my 2006 Archery buck. Getting close to the end of the season and we finally got a little snow.
Here's my 2006 fall turkey. This one was kind of special as it was the first turkey I've taken since the wheelchair became a big part of my life. The second picture is with my son Riley helping carry the turkey out of the woods.
Here is my 2005 black powder harvest. I thought it was an average doe when I pulled the trigger but unfortunately it was a young buck. Good for the freezer but I do like to let the little bucks grow into big bucks.
Here's a doe I harvested in the fall of 2005 with my crossbow.
These are from Wisconsin's Whitetails Unlimited Disabled Hunt of 2004. Many thanks to my "guides"!

My Daughter's Montana Hunt
My daughter Beth and I with a couple antelope we shot in Montana. The picture on the right is my daughter with my friend Steve Toriseva.
I just had to sneak a couple of pictures in here of my son Riley and a couple of catches from this summer. The picture on the left was when he caught 2 bass at the same time. One was about a pound and the other was three pounds. The second picture is a stringer he brought home one evening.
Here's a couple pictures of Riley in the fall of 2005. He's 13 and this is the result of his first turkey hunt.

Here is Riley's 2006 archery buck. At age 14, it's a pretty good way to start!
