Been thinking about one, I have plenty of others but nothing yet that honors my greatest passion. Been thinking about my pup on point with a flush, but really want to nod the greatest of all, the mule deer. Would love to see what others have done.
Happy Hunting!

I always thought it would be cool to take the picture of my best buck how I found him lying on the side of the mountain in black and grey with the blood trail in red ink.
 
It's an upside skull with pines coming out of the bottom. It's based on a painting I saw, but altered it a bit. Wanted the skull to look "galaxy-ish" to represent sunrise/sunset/sky all swirled together. For some reason the painting really resonated with me.

Is that an alien or a planet with some burned jack pine?

Not hunting but this guy does incredible work for both fish and wild game. I'd recommend taking a look at his stuff. Once I kill a bull elk over 300, I am going to him to get it tattooed. Aj McGuire at Dead Drift Tattoo in Denver. So good, I traveled out of state to get the tattoo.
 
Almost all my tattoos are hunting tattoos. 2 sleeves and adding. My favorite single piece probably being a tree on my forearm with Ralph Waldo Emerson’s quote: “In the woods, is perpetual youth”

I have a bunch, with more to come. If you’re in the Sierras (just making assumptions off your SN), I can connect you with a really talented artist in Carson City.
 
Favorite mountain range I’ve been going to in the cabinet mountains for 20yrs hunting and with my lab Magnum. Elk tracks on one calf, dog tracks on the other calf of deceased dogs. Raven on a large elk shed and took the Rmef logo decades ago, as elk hunting and bugling bulls has been my passion since 1980.
