Antler party 2026

[Okanagan]

This year at our annual antler party 14 of us showed up, down a little on family but we had three guests. Several antlers from this year shown below, though not all were in the pic.   Good food, good people, fun stories.



 Each year after the Fall hunting seasons, the hunters in my family get together and swap hunt stories and bring antlers, hides, etc. from the recent seasons.  My family tagged 16 big game animals this past year, including a grandson who has moved to Idaho and did not come over for the party.  He got a bear, a big 4x4 mule deer in Idaho plus a 6x6 elk and a dandy 4x4 mule deer in Montana.

For some reason I have to log out and log back in for each photo I post here from Imgur. 

Rack from a pretty big blacktail buck below, taken by my son near timberline, several miles to pack out.  The buck was near toothless, with no fat and tips of antlers broken probably from fighting, a really old fellow.



Bull elk pic below taken by the same son in Montana while hunting with his son, who got a bigger one! (not shown here).


And food... pulled pork and ribs below.

Looks like a lot fun.
We need you to air one of these gatherings sometime. Go live...

Jim has the right idea to video the party, but it would be more fun if you just invited us. 😂
