Great thread, and answers a ton of questions. The only one I knew for sure was the picture of Hugh Glass.

Minr is a picture of my only western game animal of significance. He was 14.5 inches shot in 2014. My others are trophies to me but he was pretty nice.

I was lucky enough to be with my brother when he took his first elk, a nice fat cow, in northern NM.

Why it's CSEH of course

My first bow kill with the new bow I hunted with for 5 years.

The Red Mountain Flume, which collects snowmelt and runs into Chessman Reservoir - Where Helena's drinking water comes from.

Hypothetically, I've heard that certain conceivable residents of Jefferson County have been known to take childish pride in peeing in it whenever the opportunity arises. Allegedly.

And I thought the water only tasted funny when they were pulling out of the Missouri.

Great idea. I've wondered about many of these. Mine is a 6x6 elk that hangs in my mancave. I killed it with my bow on Colorado.

My first elk, taken in the same spot my brother killed his first bull elk the year before.

A deer I shot in a picked corn field with a rifle. Hunting with a friend who took the picture.

Realized I'd never set one. So I did. Long walk up a snowy hill. They say every REAL Washingtonian needs to climb Rainier. So I checked the box.

Hugh Glass. Spent many nights as a kid reading Lord Grizzly over and over.

I know about Hugh Glass; amazing story but haven't read that. Going on the reading list.

Pronghorn I harvested last year. Friend and I flew out for a week, we usually drive. Now I am thinking for anything smaller than elk flying is the way to go. You can't tell it by the picture but I woke up the morning before we flew out and was so sick the whole trip. It was all I could do to sneak up on the buck without coughing so loud that every animal for 10 miles would hear me. As you can see I got him and just finished putting him in game bags when the bigger buck we had been watching on land we couldn't hunt came over to our side. I helped my buddy put the sneak on him and he tagged out too. I totally forgot about being sick for awhile after that, but took about 3 weeks to get well.
