From this past week here in Pennsylvania.

This one is from today.

Some of the beautiful public land here near my home.

One of the numerous roads to adventure.

Very nice hunting and stumping paradise. And thats a lot of property to get away from it all.

beautiful fellows god and jack frost sure can paint dr

Liquid Tension, very few in our area. Twenty-five years ago there would have been more. On a Saturday I may see a couple cars or trucks parked in the access areas. This particular SGL has 10,800 acres, and there is another one twelve miles down the road that has another 8,000 plus acres. Hunter numbers have dwindled over the past two decades as well. Right now you would likely run into a turkey hunter rather than a bowhunter since that season started last Saturday.

It's pretty easy to get away from most everyone out in my area. The public land around the greater Pittsburgh and Philadelphia areas are much more crowded, of course that is were most of our population lives. I'm a poor country boy out here in rural Pa., and very happy about that.

Awesome pics. This is a shot from where I've been sitting against a large tree 20 yards from edge of swamp. This afternoon a doe stepped out straight ahead. She eye-balled me and started doing the head-bob game. She did walk five yards closer, turned broadside, and I got to half draw when she caught me in that position. Jumped back into swamp to safety.

See the chipmunk by my arrow?

This guy finally saw me, but didn't know what to think.

This mornings perch

This evening this guy show up lucky for him he had a Hall Pass

Great pictures y'all

September in northeast Oregon, elk hunting.

Elk rubs.

I got dressed up for Halloween just this past Wednesday. I went out as a Pennsylvania bear hunter. ( that's me just to the left of the waving hand)

Blessings and safe season to all!

Nothing like a swamp. Sailor ,like your hat

Crikey Bobmeister, what a day! The rest of you great hot. I don't get many looks like those bucks your're passing. At this point I wouldn't be passing them. Got some pics tho. My natural stand, ground blind in a blowdown.

Sunset yesterday. Five does took off from under the trees here as I came out. Next to a corn lot. Then I saw 4 more deer in the near dark in the field next to it. But none came by my hideout.

Shots, not hot.

Hideout. Natural.

Another natural hide near the first one. Deer path goes right next to both of them.

This is where the five does were. Deer here are ultra spooky. I barely got near and within their sight and they were off like a shot.

Muscle wood. Future walking sticks. They're heavy and good self defense weapons.

Look close, there is a bear in there!

My elk hunting spot

WOW....great pics

journeyman what bow is that?

Not much to show on my season so far. Just some nice sits in peaceful surroundings.

View from my stand in NC

Nice shooting Thumper, but I have to say, that is the biggest quiver I've ever seen. Does it double as a golf bag? :)

Those times when One Feels Connected...4finger

4finger, is that Monument Valley? Sorta looks like it. I HAVE to see that place, spend a couple days in there, been to all the SW Utah/N AZ parks but that one. Drove by it, could not stop. Here is my hideout yesterday. Can you see the tom? Seven of them came within very good shooting range, walked right up, but didn't show in my lane because they silouhetted me against the sunset, but I had a shot, problem is, season closed Friday. Grrr. That is the story of my hunting life. No deer showed up of course.

This is the lane. The turks were just to the right of it. I was right in line with the sunset so they picked me off before they got to it. Couldn't have shot one anyway, season closed. But it just figures it would be them instead of a deer.

Here's my fallen log hideout. Hoping for shot from here this season.

Here's looking out of it, at the spot where I shot at a 6 pt last season. It was coming through the far end of the lane. I was standing next to the root wad in next picture They are only about 50 yards apart

Here is looking to the right out of the 'blind'. They are gonna get it here this year... ;)

Hey TrapperK...thats is actually Southern Utah Outside of Moab...SpiritualPlace...4finger

4, Nice, been there. Drove out to some bluffs along the Canyonlands rims. Talked to some ole fella that was the last wrangler to run horses down in the bottom, in the spot where they filmed the car suicide scene from Thelma and Louise. We also drove up the Green River canyon to some place called Cedar Canyon or something like that. Bunch of promontories there, and a small community, and a winery along the river. I will say this, I don't like Denny's, but the Moab Denny's was pretty darn good too!

pictures always seem to look better with bows in them for some reason.very nice

Hedgehunter, those old Pearson risers look great when made into recurves.

Hard to beat a day of stumping!

Coming over to see what I am!

Me roving for Elk on Ophir pass above Silverton Colorado.

Place I've encounterd a LOT of deer over the span of 50 years.

Roving around Leadville about a decade ago.

Thank you all, I love those pics, and reminds me why I love to bowhunt, not just the harvest, but connecting with nature.

Love them all !!

A little snow in W. PA this morning

Decided to use one of my vintage Kodiaks this year. 45# 64"

All rain over here in Bedford County. Would like to see some snow in the woods. Anyway, here is a shot of a Browning Safari 54" against the only standing building left at the old Wilhelm place. It's now part of SGL 48, and this photo was taken five years ago. Since then it has joined the environment as well. This was an old outhouse. Nature tore that little brown building down. ;)

Last try. Server is being an a** and not wanting to upload my picture.

Let’s call this one from this morning.. 2 Seasons

Beauty All around...Thanks for sharing everyone...4finger

This type of Thread, is why I have loved coming here for so long. George thank you so much for starting it and to all who have contributed to it. The beauty in these photos, yet so many will never see. As George said there are fewer people out there in the woods to enjoy the view. True art by the Master captured in a photo. DANNY

From today.

Truly love the photo of you and your son sharing such great time together. Reminds me of when my boys were young sharing the time together.

Found this next to the house today after work. Tomorrow morning supposd to get 10" snow. Ill be out in it. Last day regular bow season. Stand a good chance of getting into these two.

They are always in here. House is behind the trees in the background. I'm lucky to live so near this deer and turkey habitat.

The house and all the weeds where the like to travel.

Got out in the spot they were in yesterday. The two were bedded already before dawn and bolted on my approach to stand. They are pretty much nocturnal here but the snow and cold is going to force them into feeding during the day. Today is the last dayof regular bow. Tomorrow the war zone starts, usually at least 45 min before legal hrs. I will stick close to home (where I have seen most of the deer anyway). The elk and mulie kill shots making me,itch to retire and move back out west. One more year from this Jan.

Bolted in the predicted direction, pretty patternable. This is the spot they have been feeding daily.
