Loved the way this gobbler was strutting around in the field of yellow flowers.

This yearling and his mom and sibling were hanging around the same area for the two days. This one was the last to come down from the tree and decided this was the way to do it.

Well it's that time of year here in the south and the Smoky Mountain National Park. The bear are out and about more than during colder weather (They don't truly hibernate here in the southeast) and new cubs are finding their way around the "new" world they live in. Moms and last years cubs are...

SPS has 6mm 70 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips in stock if anyone other than me has been looking. I've tried for about 2 years to find some.

I got a new (to me) camera body a few weeks ago and am still playing around with it a little at a time when I can. The other morning I was sitting on the front porch drinking my coffee and trying to get a humming bird to cooperate and then the storm clouds started to roll past to the...

The forum has been hacked again.

Made it to the Smokey Mountains NP a week ago. Not as colorful or lush foliage as there will be a little later in the year but the heavy rains we have had lately have the streams and cascades running full.

What handguns will you be hunting with this season. I have my 4” S&W 586, contender 357 magnum, and BCG custom XP100 25 Creedmoor ready. I still have to load ammo for the XP100R 260 Remington. I might try to work in the S&W 629 44 mag or the Bisley Blackhawk 45 Colt but I don’t see open sights...

This one was taken at the bottom of my driveway in the field between my drive and my brothers house. It's twin was just a few yards away and of course mom was close by. I almost forgot to post this one here.

I managed to get some of my best bear images yet this past weekend. Here are a few.

I'm not much for bird photography but I'm still playing with the Sigma 150-600.

Still working through photos. Here is another buck taken earlier in the day but only about 400-500 yards from where the other buck I posted was.

Another image from Thanksgiving weekend and the Sigma lens. As you can tell he had been chasing a doe that wasn't overly accepting of his advances.

Over Thanksgiving weekend I got a chance for the wife and I to get away and for me to try out my new Sigma 150-600 f6.3 lens. This one was only set to 361mm and was then cropped but I had to get this one quickly as she went through and opening in the trees. This one is one of her cubs and was...

My wife the dog and I went out about 10:30 last night and stayed until about 1:00 am this morning. From 10:30 until 12:20 or so was just spent with the top down looking up at the stars. Then I thought that the milkyway should be high enough above the horizon so I broke out the camera.

Just a heads up. I have finally broke down and ordered QuickLoad. I will be reading through the pinned post but I’m sure I’ll be asking lots of questions. I figure since I had a couple of wildcats and another cartridge with kind of limited data that I might as well take the plunge. Bruce
