boneaddict there may be no one in the world with an equally impressive portfolio of wildlife photos. Certainly no one with as many great deer photos.

I don't know about that npaull, but Thank you very much.  A lot of my photos are "document" type photos, just documenting the animal and to aid in telling a story with Huntwa, friends and family.   There are certainly gentleman that take way better photos than I do.  I have a lot to learn, but I appreciate the kind words.  I'm glad folks are enjoying what I post.

I would guess 25-30 yards would be a good goal for a nice full shot.  Its usually about the distance I like with the longbow, so its usually good practice.   You can use a 2x extender and reach out further, but you lose quality of the photo, and of course you can crop, but that also loses quality.

Thanks Keith.  I wish I had the gear I have now, about 20 years ago on Alta.  I miss the glory days.

Bone, you say the Alta unit. I spent over 30 years hunting up the Twisp River from Elbow Coulee all the to Copper Pass and Twisp Pass. Some incredible country way back in there along with some great bucks. We could always find places to hunt all day and never see another hunter. Last year may be my last up there as I think the wolves have real taken a toll on the deer herd. If I'm not mistaken, it is Gardner Unit on north side of the road and Alta on the south. Always fun to remember the good ole days :)

That is not an ethical shot, it's clear that another buck is behind the first one! :chuckle:

Again, great pics Bone. I have seen some awesome photos from you and others since I started posting on here. I hope 2014 brings another great year for you and the others.  :tup:
