That looks like a type of grouse, not the usual weapon to take one of them.
Great shooting
Antelope hunt in Wyoming - Unit 15. Opening day was snowy - 200 yard shot and 3rd day got these 2 at 500 yards. All 3 were with 6.5 Creedmoors. Had a blast!
The kid and I took a couple of young meat bucks in Idaho. Great family hunt and took my buck at 679 yards.
First bull elk. 329 yard shot with my Remington UML, Parker Production Black Max 325s, black horn 209, viper pst gen II, short action precision run and gun.
Finally got my first mule deer. Dumped him at 936yds with my 6.5PRC, was an amazing experience!
I have had my best deer season yet. I got a cowhorn (90lb) and an 8pt (160lb) in the same afternoon hunt. Then the next Thursday I got a 132lb doe. Two bucks with neck shots on WMA land and the doe at a private club. All with my match rifle and 130gr Norma’s in 6.5CM. I keep setting up for long shots but they keep walking out at less than 100yds. Oh well.

Opening weekend in Washington. My brother and I ended up with a couple nice whitetail and coyote that got shot right in the butthole 
Hunted hogs in Texas back in August. I dropped a couple sows with my 6.5 grendel ar-15 and an ATN scope. We are going back in February too.
If you moved your head to the right just a bit, those pics would be perfect!
Couple hours in the stand this morning for early bow season. This was all I saw but not what I was looking for ....
Just got back from Wyoming antelope hunt yesterday afternoon. Had a great time this year - weather was about as nice as you could ask for.
Got this buck the first evening of the hunt, always wanted one with horns that sort of pitch forward so this guy did, plus he had good height and decent mass for the unit I hunt. Rifle is a Tikka Superlite in a Hunters Edge stock, S&B PM II 10x42 scope shooting factory 120 grain BT's.
Also filled a couple doe tags in another unit shooting my trusty Kampfeld Customs built .243 loaded with Fusion 95 grain ammo. Works great on antelopes

Son got his 1st buck tag filled, his patience was tested to the limits but he held out long enough to get a nice one tagged.
October 19, Utah general rifle deer opener. My boy kept asking, why we passing those bucks dad? Took this with a 7mm-08. Lots of anatomy questions followed.
No luck on the coyotes, but limited out on pheasants in Aberdeen last weekend. 
Went to shoot prairie dogs last saturday & since I got there early I decided to walk into the wind over a couple hills & try to howl a coyote in, coyote responded over a huge hill but never showed so I walked a mile around that huge hill & howled again, he responded close & popped up on a ridgeline 155 yds away. I popped him in chest with 105 grain Amax, no exit. 
Nice work!
I've been trying to call one in. Was that Bear Valley area?
Opening morning. Decent little 3x4, lots of fat on back and sides. Hopefully that's not a sign of the upcoming winter.
We were back in camp skinned and in the bag by 11:30

two does with the bow so far. Still waiting on the right buck to come by
I'm not sure, I just know it was definitely in the Sawtooths .
Spanked a good one this morning. Not real big compared to most of y'all, but he's the biggest one I've taken in my life so far. Bout 4 hours ago and I'm still all spun up. And he's the first I've ever taken without my dad being there. I could feel him watching and hear his voice. What an experience! Oh and the combo of my HMR and some factory ELD-X worked out every bit as good as I could hope for.
My older daughter took her cow last weekend. Hadn't seen an elk in two days, and this lady walked out at 200 and right into one of 7 tanks that had water in it out of 60+ we checked. 105 yards, 7RM, 180 Hyb @ 2996fps.
Family tag #3 of 4 filled. 1 more to go in a month.

1st deer for my 8yo. Got to the stand before sun up, sat through 2” of rain. Hope was lost. He took a nap. Woke up and shot at a crow and missed. Then at 4pm the sun came out and a deer popped into the field at 105yds.
Quartering towards, he shot and the deer ran 35 yards 3 legged out of site. Turns out he hit him before the shoulder took out the heart and exited behind opposite shoulder. We were stoked. He said it was the best day of his life!
Tc encore .223 64gr win power core.
Edit:
I asked if his bullet hit where he was aiming..........
He says no! I said where were you aiming then? He says right at the head!
Then said he was joking !

2019 Wyoming Antelope with my 17 YO nephew. We both got our bucks using the 6.5-06 AI that I just built before the trip. I have been using the 6.5 Creedmoor for the last several years with very good success, but I wanted to push the 143 ELD-X a little faster than the 2720 fps that I get out of the Creedmoor. I didn't have a lot of time for load development, but ended up getting 3110 fps so far.
Model 70 classic, Krieger Barrel 1:8, B&C stock.

Had a slow California opener, but managed to smack this mallard.
First time i've been able to tag out during archery. Made for a quick season being done by Sept 15.
My girls with their first buck antelope
My dad made it out for antelope, we dont get to hunt together to often anymore. He made a great shot at 800yds with a 280AI built by RW Snyder.

opening day archery buck
my daughter’s first real hunt with dad
Just a status update. The 8 I took the other day transformed into these fried backstraps this morning. Damn they were good.
Happy hunting, all!!
I cut the tenderloins into 1/4 inch thick medallions and coat them in a panko mix then fry them in something like olive oil or coconut oil. Ridiculously good.
Couldn’t find the muley I wanted so I wound up taking this whitetail
