Ladies and gentlemen, I thought it would be neat to put all of this year's game in one photo gallery -- something we could do each year. Dear season is well on its way in many states and a number of you have already tagged out. Let's see if we can't put all of our handgun hunted animals of 2012 right here.

cmnash and Pink TC recently posted up some trophies as well as others, let's see 'em here!

So the easy way to do this is to include the keyword 2012 when you submit your photo. You'll need to do this on the 2nd page of the submission process because there is a bug whereas the keywords entered on the first page don't get carried over. If you've already submitted a 2012 photo go to the page showing the full-sized version and click edit. You can add the 2012 keyword and save the change.

The photos keyworded as 2012 can be seen here:

Cool idea guys.

Post 'em up, let's see 'em! Franchise, cmnash, Pink TC?? Come on now, don't be shy!

of course, I post my bear and it ends up right next the two huge Alaskan black bears lol

Post 'em in this thread!

Shot this antelope in Wyoming at 233 yards with a 30-30 Contender. I was asked to shoot a mature animal by the landowner. This doe was dry and was over 6 years old so I am quite proud of her.

Very nice and thanks for posting it here!

Whit, I know this has been explained before, but how do I post it here to this topic? last time I tried it ended up just being a link

I have a photobucket account and it is a pretty easy process. I would suggest opening an account -- uploading photos is easy enough for even me to do it -- LOL!

The process to post a photo in the forum is the same regardless of whether you choose photobucket or upload to the bragging board and others can view your images here if you use the bragging board.

i figured it out! LOL Here is my 2012 MN black bear boar. I didn't weigh him but I am guessing him at 200-250ish pounds

Bears are one of those species that I think you could easily get hooked on hunting. Then again I get hooked on hunting certain animals on a regular basis anyway. Nice bear BBW

Yeah....I just get hooked on hunting...anything!

I especially like hunting stuff I don't get to hunt on a regular basis.

Thanks Gary! I have to agree with you, This was my fourth year hunting them, and the first time running my own baits and it was a blast! tons of trail cam pics and excitement every time you go to place bait and see the logs moved.(I am not going to count the first year because I had no idea what I was doing!) I will definitely be going after bears for as long as I have the chance too.

Despite what some people think, they are really good eating too!

Very nice, gentlemen, keep 'em coming!

Here are my two thus far this year:

Whit
Is that the max in the first pic?

Only chance I've had this year to get out was at the beginning of the year. Have a hunt planned next week though. We'll see how it goes....

Yes it is, Glenn! Heck of a boar you shot there!

2012 Wisconsin Black Bear shot with a Ruger .480.

Very nice, MIHunter!!

Hey Whit. given shot placement and caliber on your hog, I'm betting he didn't last very long following the fireball from your sixgun

Went and worked the 475 out yesterday and hope that I have a chance to use it next week. If not, I'm taking the Sharps so I won't be completely cheating, its a classic

One of two taken with my 454 this year. She was quartering towards me.

So far this all I have pics of, summer chuck taken at 276 yards.

That's a beautiful piece and one helluva shot. Congrats!

I'll post these for PinkTC

This her antelope at 203 yards. Her practice really paid off.

Then when we got home she shot this buck. She is really on a roll.

So far just small game but that will change soon hopefully.

January coyote with Contender .223:





April crow with Ruger .22/45:




October prairie dogs with Ruger .22/45:

Your wife is doing excellent! But how about your nice January buck Matthew...let's see you post him up here!

Good job!

Well if we are talking calender year 2012, here are a few more.

My buck from Alabama; January 2nd.

Some groundhogs in the summer to stay sharp.

A hog with the sixgun in August.

This is great! Keep 'em coming folks!

I've enjoyed your photos ladies and gentlemen. It's good to see all of this handgunning success! Here are a couple of North GA hogs I took recently with my S&W 44 Mag revolver and my 209 X 50 Contender:



I hope to have a buck to post in the upcoming weeks.

Good luck to all this season!

Edited to add my North GA buck taken with my 6.5" 629 Classic:

These are all I've gotten so far....WY 9/12

Nice pics, folks, and congrats! Good luck the rest of the season, too!

Nice photos, BT!

SON OF A GUN!! My hunting season, for big game, doesn't start till November 3. This thread is giving me one heck of an itchy trigger finger!!! All I can go shoot right now is small game and paper. Been doing a LOT of paper punching with the 460 at 200 yards. Groups are now acceptable for hunting!!

These pics are awesome guys! Congrats to all those who have taken something this year, and to those of us who have not, well, OUR TIME IS COMING!!!

Here is one hog I shot July 4th in the Southern Hills of Texas. Contender 6.5JDJ, approx 105 yds-15yd recovery. 125lb
Mike

Nice work, Mike!

some nice critters here guys... good job!

Some summertime pursuits...






Like Darrell, hoping to add some bone to the Bragging Board soon - but a big ole doe will do just fine!
