Hi everyone

Why is it that relatively few photos of hunts on public land have been posted here? I ask out of interest and ignorance.

Could it be that relatively few animals are shot on public land and therefore few photos posted?
Could it be that people are cautious about posting hunting photos for fear that the animal rightists may get hold of them and cause problems for them?

Oops. Sorry. I just noticed that the title says 2016-2017 hunting photos.

Hi Dimitri,

It's because no one wants to give away the spots they hunt. And if they're stupid enough to do such a thing, they'll be ostracized for making it known to those not in the know.

Think of it this way. If you were a young man and you discovered that the extremely shy but stunningly beautiful girl that lives on your street was a nympho and you and her were hooking up, would you tell your high school buddies?

People that hunt public typically put in a lot of work to have successful hunts. Anyone that is considering hunting public should expect to do the same. I hope that answers your question.

Hi aerangis

Thanks for the explanation. I understand it now.

Public land pig. My Niece’s first big game animal. Gus Engling youth doe hunt.

Very nice sir

Youth Hunt Gus Engling. Nieces first deer.....now where to go but up from here.

Elk I shot this year with my 6.5 grendel. Hit her right behind the shoulder, bullet exited, she made it 15 yards before collapsing. Huge blood trail. She was a big old girl, took my 2 teenaged sons and I 6 hours to process her and hump the meat out. An average cow elk is maybe 400-450# this one was much bigger.

What bullet were you shooting?

Hornady 120gr gmx at 2450fps. 50-75 yard shot. It expanded nicely judging by the wound channel. You could almost see an exaggerated out line of the folded back petals in places. Hit a rib and clipped the shoulder blade on one side. Double lunged and right through the top of the heart.

Saw this big boy at Matador WMA while quail hunting. We were in the truck and the picture didn't turn out great, but he was a big boy.
