2021 Talkie Awards - Best Hunt Recap

[LousyResident]

Man, so many good ones this year. If not for @Greenhorn having that ram tag someone else might have had a chance.

There were many an excellent story, but @antlerradar and @Greenhorn have 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.

I am glad that so many enjoyed my story, But @Greenhorn is being humble and his story is far better for the following reasons.
A once in a life time hunt and he gave it his all.
He kept us riding shotgun all summer and fall until the end of November.
The photography was spectacular. So many great landscape shots.
He was an example for all when you finish second to an eighty year old man.
The closest I got to a yoga girl encounter was a pair of annoying geese.

I will say, I think I give @trb the prize for best writing, and had it not been for two aforementioned oid threads, the wide Drexler would have taken the top spot. It's a story I thought about many times after reading it.

@Hunting Wife

I am very thankful for your attention to this all year. I just re-read your nomination list, and with each title, a little bit of pleasure inducing endorphins were released in my brain as I recalled the theme, storyline and photos of the thread.

Seemingly the two most mentioned threads (antlerradar and Greenhorn) chronologically were opposites. Readers knew that the big whitetail story was going to lead to a harvest while greenhorn‘s story was about as live as it gets.

To those (already) nominated, lots of applause from the Flint Hills. Thank you for your efforts to tell your adventure story.

If winning a @Hunting Wife Talkie award for a sheep story is one’s goal in life, I have a word of advice: Don’t draw your sheep tag the same year as @Greenhorn !

To all the HT contributors: thanks for the great stories. 2021 was a year that needed a few!

@TRS_Montana Kamikaze elk was a great read!

After reading these stories this year how can you pick just one winner? In my eyes they are all winners as they portray the essence of the will and determination of those who love the outdoors and hunting. They each show the ethics, respect and love of the hunt. So, who's the winner? We are because they have shared their world and moment in time with all of us.

Congratulations to each one of you who shared your story with us.

@Big Fin how about some HT Talkie ball caps, in blaze orange (for @wllm1313), snap back for nominees and fitted for winners? I'll throw a few bucks in the fund (especially if they're retroactive to last year when I was nominated )

I imagine the number of deer killed in MA with a HT cap is fairly small…

What about the winner of the talkie has to donate $50 to a conservative conservation group?

Conservative or conservation? Words matter, Mister.
