7mm Long Range Magnum in a Gunwerks rifle scored these first two shots for me at 1,250 yards. Hey, don't blame me; blame the rig and the spotter calling my hold!

With sheep hunting it isn't the journey so much as the destination. More precisely, the arrival. #sheephunting #alaska #alaskarange #mountains #mountainhunting #hunting #remington700 #swarovski #dallsheep #ronspomeroutdoors

Morels. About 1/5 of our bag Sunday. Isn't it interesting how we can brag about our trophy mushroom hunts, but not quail, deer, bear, etc? We should start PETM - People for Ethical Treatment of Morels. #mountains #ronspomeroutdoors #idaho #morels #mushroomhunter #trophyhunting #trophyphoto #gamehog

Mertensia sp. in ID mountains. A welcome distraction from turkey, bear and morel hunting. Real Purdue! Commonly called blue bells. #hunting #flowerphotography #wildflowers #bluebells #ronspomeroutdoors #spring #flowers #idaho #mountains

The woods were lovely, dark and deep... Went bear hunting yesterday and got so distracted that I never loaded a rifle. This is a trillium. 3 petals, bracts and leaves. When these are blooming, look for morels! #hunting #wildflowers #trillium #bearhunt #flowers #wildflowers #ronspomeroutdoors #photography #flowerphotography

Not a big springbuck ram. Not even a big African species. But a treat to stalk and incredibly delicious. Africans shoot these by the thousands. Order some next time you're in a Namibian restaurant. #bookyourhunt #ronspomeroutdoors #namibia #immenhofhunting #safari #hornady #springbuck #hunting

This is why my earlier post of woodcock showed them hanging against a barn. Too much camouflage for a good ground photo. Could Mossy Oak Woodcock pattern be on the way? #woodcockhunting #russia #uplandbird #uplandhunting #woodcock #camouflage #camo #ronspomeroutdoors

Eurasian woodcock are larger than N. A. Woodcock, but just as much fun to hunt. Sauté hot and serve rare. #hunting #bookyourhunt #ronspomeroutdoors #woodcock #woodcockhunting #russia #travel #uplandbird #uplandhunting

Not the most dramatic photo of the world's largest grouse (Capercaillie) but a lucky catch in a forest during hunting season. Stalking them at dawn is a thrill. #russia #ronspomeroutdoors #uplandbird #capercaillie #glukhar #grouse #hunting #bookyourhunt

Fancy dancer! The Eurasian black cock is a lekking grouse similar in size and habits to our North American sharptail grouse. Iridescent, blue black body feathers topped with brilliant red combs and punctuated by a snow white rump. Curled tail feathers add ornamentation. #dance #dancing #bird #grouse #blackcock #lek #spring #russia #ronspomeroutdoors #uplandbird #display

Hey hey! It's Norway from 6 miles up. Looks like some wild fjord and mountain country there. You can see it flying NYC to Moscow. #ronspomeroutdoors #travel #norway #flying #mountains #hunting

Aeroflot service has improved nicely in 10 years, and its reflected in the flight attendants' uniforms. Good, friendly service. No forced removals. #aeroflot #flying #travel #service #russia #ronspomeroutdoors #jetsetter #hunting #fly✈️

And you thought you knew all the turkeys! These are two "tom" Capercaillie, the world's biggest grouse. Trip booked through on-line Book Your Hunt and it was fantastic. #hunting #ronspomeroutdoors #bookyourhunt #russia #grouse #glukhar #capercaillie
