Here is a new buck I've never shown.  He looks really young to me.  Maybe he will put on a little mass because he has width and a nice 4x4 layout.  We shall see if he survives...

Great to have you back, I probable should know this but I'm assuming you are a professional photographer, those are some of the best pics that I've seen, Well at least seconds to Boneaddict :chuckle: My favorite, hand down is the bug eyed buck, can I put that as my computer back ground it cracks me up... :chuckle:
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

Yeah, you caught that Rob.  He broke off one of his fronts.  You can see it from this side picture.

Thanks for the compliments Teacherman.  No, I'm not a pro photographer.  I'm just an attorney that likes to take a few pictures.  That bug eyed buck is a nice buck.  Tony and I call him the Smooth Fork buck because his back left side does not branch.  He is decently wide with good mass.  Unfortunately, he kept getting his butt kicked.  He had got a little too close to the other buck and the 190 just ran him off right to me.  He didn't care less about me but was really worried as he looked back to see if the 190 was still coming after him...  Interestingly enough, he was able to get about 5 does later that day so kudos to him.  Actually, the big 190 started running around after a doe in heat and he just took over as the dominant buck in that little harem.

Oh, feel free to use it as your wallpaper.

I'd love to see Pope or Bone or both put on a photography clinic in the future for those of us aspiring to at least reach "hobbyist" status with our photography  Great stuff Pope and glad you're back.  Now that Bone has a broken arm we expect you to pick up the slack.  ;)

I have always had a standing invite to go out and shoot wildlife some time with anyone here.  I'll extend the offer again.  I just like to do it and help people at it.  So for anyone that wants to go hit the Yakima or wherever, I'm good to go.  So far, only Huntnphool has taken me up on it.

I am itching to get out at play with my new camera. When ever you are in the area let me know, I would love get out and shoot some wildlife.

I'm thinking of making an oak creek trip soon.  The problem is it's hard to get good photos there.  It'll be fun to try though...  I'll let you know.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
