North Idaho whitetail!

I’m not hunting this year but can’t stay out of the woods so I’m out packing a camera. These shots are from this weekend.

If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

Great photos! I was there a couple weeks ago, not much movement. Looks like things are picking up!

Another great night! We saw three different bucks in the last hour of light either with a doe or on the hunt for one…

Nice bucks, no jaw droppers, but any would go home with me.  Good shots, hard to get focused on the animals in such brushy country.  Would be hard to squeeze a bullet through some of that brush also.

Yet to see anything this season that is trigger worthy but a great time in the timer…
