The Chelan Co. Giant part Tre
« on: December 22, 2008, 07:42:43 PM »
I had my work cut out for me this mourning. The Bucks were bedded almost on the top of an open South facing knoll. For me to have the wind in my favor,slip in undetected and have the sun on my back for the pics, I was going to have to use a large tree for cover. There was one problem? Their were two Bald Eagle's in the top of the tree facing the Deer. I knew if I spooked the Eagles the gig was up!!! O yea a foot of snow and 8 degree's also. Well just as I made it three quarters of the way up 2 Eagles that I hadn't seen from below with my spotter flew off!!!  :bash: Now what? Be patient? I still had 200 yards to go to be within 100 yards of the Bucks. I decided to wait until things settled down. Slider froze his Tail Feathers off again!!!  :chuckle: I slowly tried to work my way up the ridge with out spooking the 2 remaining Eagles. I made it about 50 yards from the tree the Eagles were in and sure enough they take off!!! :bash: Again I wait until things settle down before trying to make the last 50 yards to the tree. I eased up to the tree and all the Deer were moving up and to my left. :bash: I waited until they walked over the hill and gave chase. I eased up to the top of the ridge and the Deer were coming back!!! WTF I got set up and got some great shots!!! I hope you like them. Thanks
