I sent 2 pixs to drag to see if he could post them. They're old pixs that I scanned but I can't upload them to a host site because they are in jpeg format. One pic is from my 2nd year hunting (1962) and the other pic is of a coyote I shot in 1996. That coyote was the first 100% eastern strain coyote documented in NY State. Local people and the Fish & Game believed what was running around in the woods were coy dogs, a domestic dog that mated with a coyote. The Fish & Game asked if they could have it to test then they sent me the results. __________________ "I spend most of my time fishing and bow hunting, the rest I waste"

Lets see if I can do this. This is My uncle who got me started hunting. Billy Kronyak. He was state champion once or twice also. I would guess this pic is from the 1950's maybe the 60's [img][/img]

That maine buck is huge! When I hunted in New Brunswick Canada I saw some deer with bodies like that. Their hoof prints look like cow prints. I didnt believe it till I saw them for myself.Keep the pics coming!!! __________________ Member FMBA local 21 Member UBNJ

Quote: I hunted Maine a bunch of times but you couldnt get me to go there on a bet now. I'm not a bear man, I went once to Bowlin Camps in the 80's. It didn't do anything for me. I can understand not wanting to go to Maine for bear, I never saw any over 350lb., which would be a minimum for me to shoot. I do have a bug to go back deer hunting. The license is still reasonable, but it's hard to find guys that like the "track 'em" down style of hunting. I hope I can find a couple of slides I took of a buck that a Canadian guy shot, that was the length of his Chrysler New Yorker. It was the largest buck, I've ever seen. __________________ Retired power lineman Hunter since 62 "Try to live up to your dog's opinion of you!"

I finally was able to figure it out by taking pix of my pix on my digital camera. The first pic is of me, 1962. I was 20 years old and this was my 2nd year of hunting. the second pic is not of the coyote I previously described as be the first documented in NY State, that was in 1974 and I don't have a pic. This is a coyote I shot in 1996. Sorry about the poor quality. __________________ "I spend most of my time fishing and bow hunting, the rest I waste"

Sugar,That's a cool shot of your uncle. Man, I remember using those limb sox, they'd grab all the briars. Those Hilbre's would love sticking ya, without a hood cover. Do you remember what bow he was using?, it looks over 60 inches. Where'd he get the buck? What camp in Maine, did you get your bear? __________________ Retired power lineman Hunter since 62 "Try to live up to your dog's opinion of you!"

Dawg,Im not sure what bow it was. I do know it was over 60" though. It was a target bow that I remember. Both of those bears actualy were from Maine. the first I took with Nelson Cole up in Thorndike Me. and the other was with Tom Hooke out of Strong. I hunted Maine a bunch of times but you couldnt get me to go there on a bet now.
