the blown up picture of a deer at no less then 400 hundred yards

same picture without blowing him up I knew because of how open it was getting to this guy wasnt going to be a easy stalk but decided what the heck i might as well get a closer look and I am glad I did he isnt a impressive deer by most standard but sneaking up on him bedded down in 2 to 3 foot sage with another buck and eight doe was a little bit of a achievement.

here he pokes his head into the wash I belly crawled up to get close. . .I think he was smelling ? the wind was blowing pretty stiff from right to left on a slant towards me

he probably smelt that turkey back home in the oven, lol

I dont know if they winded me or not but all the deer started moving through in front of me so I took some more pictures as they went through before I went home for some leftover turkey

I think the doe were more aware then the bucks were

More smelling maybe the doe

my leg was cramping and I had to move slightly He was instantly watching me but after a minute of stillness he continued feeding

after about fifteen minutes I finally moved again and the doe were onto me and they all moved off I think i need a quiter camera the doe were very aware of the shutter sound untill i moved though they couldnt place the noise

Wish i would have had my tripod with me I was dying holding the heavy lense up watching the deer

Drove up on the backside of the chelan butte and ran into the sheep herd that was pretty fun

Love watching deer playing specially in the new snow. . . I think this buck was chasing off the lil spike because there was a hot doe below him these were right before dark and he was moving fast pictures didnt come out super clear

so I got some close ups of that deer the next day he was preoccupied so I was able to get really close

Nice Pics wilsongideon!!! Luv the close one's. It's just like Bow Hunting!!! Getting close is half the fun!!!

270Shooter · « **Reply #15 on:** December 20, 2008, 07:12:22 AM »

Cool looks like you have got a few nice bucks in there

wilsongideon · « **Reply #16 on:** December 20, 2008, 09:26:46 AM »

I have always been a rifle hunter just never knew any different but I have alot of respect for a bow hunter who has to get close to make that shot. It is a incredible feeling being right under a deer nose and its carrying on like your not around

great pics thanks for sharing them

Another Whitetail on what seems to be traditional mule deer range i havent seen very many whitetail compared to mule deer in this area

He may have noticed my presenceor he wasnt very aware but it didnt seem to be a threat to him today

skybusterbo · « **Reply #19 on:** December 20, 2008, 05:45:51 PM »

Awesome pic's!!! Seem's like whitetails are moving in all over the state. I did see a wt doe up the Methow from you during the general season. Thank's for sharing.

Cool pic's. I like the one of the W/T buck chasing the muley doe's. I shot a W/T buck in Montana once that was with 7 muley does. I think they breed more than one would think.

TeacherMan · « **Reply #21 on:** December 20, 2008, 07:12:24 PM »

You would probable be a good person to ask this, where would be a good location to go and find muledeer on there winter range for a good day of photos. Thanks

Hey there Wilson-

You obviously know your way around the "camera", and looks like you have some great glass on the front of it! I am sure enjoying your photography. j

RLTW · « **Reply #23 on:** December 21, 2008, 09:07:38 AM »

Nice pics! What are you using for a camera set up?

wilsongideon · « **Reply #24 on:** December 21, 2008, 12:35:26 PM »

Using a Nikon D50 with a 80-400 lens . . .I am not what I would call a really great photographer I sorta let the camera do the work . . .I am hoping to start using a tripod more and see if that helps my clarity as of these pictures they are all taken free standing ... in the cold i notice its hard to keep a steady pose with out shaking slightly

Nice pics. Thanks for sharing!

Had to add these pictures when I found them I thought I had lost them from a early hike up the methow

I thought this picture was pretty sweet caught him in motion while he was racing full speed back and forth across the creek bottom he was just playing around he knew I was there but it wasnt bothering him

The 3x on the right had pretty decent mass I though but I am just a begginer a rookie

here is another pic on him I never got him ears fully spread in pictures so this is the best one he was pretty interested in that doe
and I never got all that close on him
