Decent Tom

Post by jhelvik »

Here are a few pics of a decent tom that my buddy harvested. It is the only cat that we have taken this year and will probably be the only one. The ol' red dogs did a great job of putting him up. He put them through the ringer a few times. My hound, Cash unfortunately tried to face off with the tom when he climbed the tree. He came out of the battle with only a few minor head wounds.

My three hounds under the tree.

One happy hunter.

Thanks for the compliments. Those are actually still frame pictures from my camera. I shoot a Nikon D200 (digital SLR) to get those pictures. It is an awesome camera for taking action photos. It is kind of a load to pack up the mountain but it is well worth it. I actually have over 200 photos from that hunt, but only posted a few of the pics.

Excellent pictures!

How's that new Tundra working out for you? It looks quite different from the older ones. What engine did they put in it?

Good looking outfit and dogs!

I love the new Tundra; it does everything that I want it to do. They put a 550 fan engine in the 2010. It has a 154 inch track and the engine engages at low rpms (2500 I believe). It can haul all three of my hounds, my equipment, and my fat butt all over the place. It is a great sled for breaking trail through deep powder as well. It has excellent flotation and will go about anywhere you want it to. I have put about 500 miles on this sled and I wouldn't trade it for anything right now.

I'm thankful for being dumb and slow, then i don't have to over think this stuff.

Best of wishes....
