Amazing deer Bone!!!I just saw an instagram post on @doylemossphotography....same buck I'm sure...is he photographing in Washington too or is this an out of state buck???Kind of random, but had to ask.
I get that every time I post a buck bigger than 140 Silk. I almost never shoot on private. Maybe a deer standing on private while I’m not(on road or parcel next door). I hate door knocking.I’ve never shot on a preserve where there is no hunting, such as Arsenal in CO. I’d love to if not to just to see the critters. There are some amazing ones. I’ve shot several refuges which all allow some sort of hunting but limited, like the Bison range. I’ve shot on the Malheur which you can’t hunt on, but all the bucks come from units hunted hard, and for the most part are spooky as hell. Plus they are poached something fierce which is a problem everywhere. Obviously the more limited the hunting is, the better chance for bigger bucks. Migration is also key in many places. More and more I’m traveling out of state. My bread and butter for years was the Methow. Not any longer. Idabooner hasn’t seen much of me lately. If I had the money I’d be on the North Rim right now. If I had the knowledge I’d be at the Henry’s. I approach everyone of my photo shoots as a hunt. Such as the story I had with this buck. Yesterday I shot in my backyard. Tomorrow I might be in Oregon. I go where it fits in my life. I’ve got a question. Would you guys prefer I don’t post the photos I take if I don’t take them here in Washington? I’ve stated on here multiple times I get tired of being asked where. I know multiple guys that stopped posting big buck pictures because of this. You guys are missing out on some fantastic photography. I had a great time finding and filming this deer. It’s funny I have to explain myself.
