2021 Talkie Awards - Best Hunt Recap

[rtraverdavis]

There were so many great hunting stories this year, but damn if @Greenhorn ’s Mt Ram thread wasn’t the gift that kept on giving.

Good VD index?

 

[marksjeep]

Hard to believe how the years and the stories fly by. Thanks for putting these talkie threads together! I missed a few of these stories, looking forward to catching up on them.

I think the final two weeks of trials and tribulations Greenhorn endured after his ultra marathon sheep scout/hunt sealed the deal in his deserving of the prestigious honor.
Class act..so long as you don't look the sheep in the eye.

 

[duckhunt]

This has been an epic year for hunt threads. Hopefully we can continue on for the next few years.

 

[Addicting]

I gotta step up my game. Never even been nominated…..

But as far as best thread of the year goes to @Greenhorn ram.

 

[The Hedgehog]

@antlerradar whitetail buck thread by a landslide

 

[Hunting Wife]

Now can we convince @Big Fin to get a sponsor to donate a sweet prize for the winners of of @Hunting Wife 's awards show. Haha

I personally just like to revisit the good threads and have a little fun with the members here. It seems like once prizes get involved, it ceases to just be fun for fun’s sake.

I forgot to do the disclaimer this year that this is unsanctioned by the HT powers, everything is made up, and the points don’t matter.

 

[Hem]

You know what would make my day?
Next May some lucky Hunttalker draws a sheep tag for the Hilgards and invites me to tag along now and again.

 

[Ben Lamb]

and the points don’t matter.

My vote has to be for @Greenhorn for his MT ram. The story that kept on giving, his friend Jake's photo's, his own photo's, the overall story and all the classic Greenhorn mixed in made it an incredible thread.

Uniqueness of story/Commitment: @antlerradar
Entertainment and Photography: @Greenhorn

Hell of a year of stories.

 

[mtmuley]

I suspect one of the things those of us who hang out here have in common is that we love a good hunting story. Especially with great pictures for visual aids. The laughs, the struggles, the highs, the lows bring us all together and let us live vicariously some hunts we may otherwise never get a chance to experience at all. 2021 was the best I can remember for storytellers. I submit the following stories posted in 2021 for your consideration.

Well, there are apparently too many entries to run a poll so I guess all you get is a participation trophy and whatever prizes @Ben Lamb chooses to bestow. I know I left some out because the list was getting long, so please post links to any you enjoyed that I neglected to list.

They are all great and kept me entertained in a year I was unable to get out much. Thanks to all of you.

After further thought your right.

 

[Brittany Chukarman]

Not a bad one on the list. Greenhorn's effort and telling of it was epic but follow the map touched my old, hard heart.

 

[marksjeep]

Really enjoyed this recent thread by @Bluffgruff

https://www.hunttalk.com/threads/bo...he-summer-fall-winter-and-the-monsoon.310808/

 

[Irrelevant]

There were many an excellent story, but @antlerradar and @Greenhorn gave us two threads and two stories that were once in a decade (or more quality), unique in there own ways, I couldn't pick between them.

 

[BoulderBulls]

I'm all in on The Storms of Life. Best thread of the year. Hands down. Get @Big Fin a talkie award bumper sticker already

 

[brownbear932008]

There sure is some tough competition in those threads. All great stories and I suppose I'm gonna read them again each and every one now that it's winter. What an epic year for some of the HT crew.
