Calendar Reject (buck is dead)

[hunting4sanity]

Bone, I'll take your rejects any day. I need to get out with my camera sometime soon for critters and I'd be thrilled with a photo like that. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

I didn`t notice any rocks until I read your post...

Me too. What a heck of a deer. Nice shot!

I'm drooling over that buck!

What a wonderful picture!! Outstanding!

I agree, the blurry rock doesn't look good. It takes up about 40% of the picture.

Besides the deer I love the colors of the rock he's standing behind as well as the color of the sky. What time of day?

 And I'm always a sucker for any shot with sagebrush in it

I agree. If the rocks were sharp it would have worked. depth of field. This is always the choice in this kind of thing. EXCELLENT deer though.

Hog alert! Crazy he didn’t make the cut

Just found out he died of natural causes.    Dang I was really looking forward to seeing what his antlers would do.

What rock? 

  Exactly where I was going.

Here is another picture of the same buck by Dennis Kirkland.

How’d you like to find that shed head.   They let him keep it as well.

I was with him when he took that photo.  I took Dennis and two other great photographers to him that evening.  Fun evening!
