Let's see your view out there, whether it's your blind in the woods, tree stand on the edge of a field. Send in your views. I'll start with mine.

Quick set-up and portable. Not too comfortable at -20, but it works well.

seems almost like cheating, but sure is comfy. swivel lets me scan the whole ridge top and most of the bowl, while being supported.

I don't have a ambush picture. However, I do have post-ambush picture. We ended the day with a buck and doe. Keep on ambushing!

Actually, dogs are BAIT for that particular species of cougar. The younger the dog, the better the bait.


Thanks for the laugh Moose.


Also, when you post pics like this... make sure you turn your location services off so your phone or camera doesn't put a GPS tag on your spot!

Nailed it. Been passed down to me. Grandfather bought it for my dad, then my uncle had it, now I have it. I refinished it a couple years ago, the stock that is. Shoots great. Only thing I wish it had was a detachable magazine.

That's great! They really are a nice gun, my dad has hunted with that same gun for longer than I've been alive. He swears it's the best gun ever built. He also re did the stock on his last year. Very cool!

I saw quite a few coyotes this morning. It took a lot of self control not to pull the trigger. And I managed to rattle in 2 smaller bucks - thanks to the help of an AO member.
