Just a reminder to get the photos down to size, if you're uploading from phone I use a simple application called "photo resizer". Super easy to use.

My niece shot this nice buck. It was a fun day with weather ups and downs and lots of laughter. Re size if necessary please!

A hint for photos taken in sunlight, especially with hats on - use the fill flash. A couple of great photos had shadowy faces which removed them from my consideration.
