TO's

[Ricochet]

I might head out intending to photograph deer or elk (and may or may not be successful), but along the way a Target of Opportunity will often present itself.  Sometimes these TO's make the difference between it being a good trip or a great one.  So lets share some of the unexpected nuggets we've found along the way.







I've spent years wandering and photographing whatever I saw, and never got a chance to photograph a badger until the day I took these.  And then I shot two different badgers in the same day!  Thank you Lady Luck.

Very Cool!

Hey can I save those for referance?

[Ricochet]

Sure Michelle, if you need higher resolution shots just let me know.  These are shrunk down and lower resolution than the originals by quite a bit.

Oh yeah, those targets I didn't expect are always fun.  I was out looking for sheep in South Dakota when I ran into this prairie dog believe it or not...

Nice shot, Shawn.  She looks like she just swallowed a beer can.

I was up on a high high mountain in a little bowl trying to shoot a couple 170" mule deer when this bang bang bang kept going off about 30 yards away.  I circled around and it was a hairy woodpecker.  I figured you can always shoot big mule deer but you rarely get shots of a hairy woodpecker up close and personal.  When I hiked back out and met up with my buddy Tony he thought I was nuts because I came back with nuthatch and woodpecker photos and no deer.

I can always use more pictures.  You know the kind I need.  Close ups of Eyes, noses, etc, etc.

Thanks for the antelope pic's!  Do you have any close ups of them?  Eyes, nose, ears, etc?

Beautiful shots. I especially like the badger pic's. I appreciate you posting those. I am an enthusiast on all types of wildlife not just deer and elk.

Thanks again.

I'm not a real fan of wild horses, especially when they displace native wildlife, but if I can't find anything else....

Hard to look at pics like these and not be awe struck. 

Horses are my favorite of Gods creations... next to a boone & crockett buck.

Our favorite deer area is loaded with these guys.



I was really bored this day.
