Default 2017 Season Re-cap and pics

Didn’t think I would find the right whitetail, but got it done tonight on one I had a shed from last spring. Season started with hosting what has become a good friend from New Zealand on my bear bait where he took a great bear (Anotherkiwi from here), then went to Wyoming on a self guided antelope hunt with a couple other members here, then got a small archery mule deer, a good eating antlered elk and finally my whitetail tonight. Had a great season, and 2018 only looks better with Auodad, Tahr and Chamois, Gredos Ibex and cougar on the menu in addition to the usual. Best of luck to everyone with tags still in their pockets.

Very nice! A few of those critters are still on my bucket list; bear, antelope, bull elk, and mulie. All in one season is pretty cool, congrats.
