nope just a hobby, or is that an addiction. It really doesn't do the justice of all the big bucks I have seen that I didn't get on film, even with camera in hand. They don't get big by being dumb in this state. All the deer I take pics of are hunted animals, NO PARK animals, so most of the big ones escape. Its alot harder to take a picture let alone a good picture of a big buck than shoot one. Thats part of why I do this. I love the challenge. The new lens this year was to help bridge the gap withthe dawn and dusk thing I e-mailed you about. Alot of times they are very nocturnal and there just isn't the light to get them on film. This state actaully has animals that will rival any other for the most part. Not near the quantity, but there are some real monsters hanging around as evidenced with some of the big ones showing up and shed antlers.
