Its not like he got any bigger or anything, but the majestic of him standing there  and at that angle, in the fog.  COOL

Yep and not enough mass.   He was a "raghorn" compared to the one I had just seen.

sweet! I wish I could have seen the big one too! That other is nice, but of course, not nice enough for this tag...unless it was later and he was 16 yards broadside and you had the hawk in your hand!!

First of all ERnie, lets talk lens.  The Panasonic took 5 pics, all too dark and too blurred to see the deer.  That was 450 yards, almost dark, leaning on my truck freehand....and the deer was in the fog.  I am so jacked about this lens.  Same with the next picture.  Then the two of the two point, it was almost dark, not even able to read.  Autofocus wouldn't work.  HOLY CRAP!!!

Hey Boneadditct my wife has been checking out of your pictures and thought you should create a wildlife calendar.

I asked this earlier but I think you missed it...With this type of tag what size buck are you holding out for? Just curious

Yeah Bucklucky, I was a sight this afternoon.  Bow in one hand, 12 pound camera in the other, rifle on my back.   I need a couple sherpas.  Maybe one to carry me.  No wonder my legs are tired...

not only were those afterdark practically, it just dawned on me that I had the extender on it for the buck on the ridge.  That cost me another F stop.   WOW, even if this thing was 13 pounds I'd still carry it.

NW.  THank you!   My standards were a 180 buck, any buck with trash or a 30 incher. I'd also take any super recessed old one if he was mossyhorned.    I'd take a 170 with my bow.  The buck I saw this afternoon would have died from shear mass and size.  I have no idea how many points he had.

Funny thing about that two.  I have sheds from his Grandpa that are identical.  Two and a half sets as a matter of fact.  THat was 20 years ago.  THey are identical in how they are shaped.
