Regrets
« on: November 19, 2022, 06:08:49 PM »
Always look bigger from behind right?   lol   I only had 45 minutes of light left.  He was with 17 does and a 3/4 of a mile hike to get to him. I figured there was no way I could beat that many eyes and ears.  i chose to go after him in the morning.   

I did and he was gone.

I’d have any tagged him.  I don’t do the Texas heart shot thing, but I tell you what, if he any angled me out to 500, with tag in hand, BANG.

From that angle the antlers look bigger than any I've ever seen. Simply incredible

I started trying to get a different angle for you.  He went out to about 500 and frolicked around.   Pretty blurry and far away.   Then I fell asleep. Lol.

Is it coming off the main beam between the g1 and g2? That’s super unique can’t think of another deer I’ve ever seen that on

 :chuckle:  No, no, I meant I fell asleep while looking at photos trying to get a different angle for you posted.  I assure you, not even I would fall asleep watching this beast. 

Again, sorry for the poor photos.  500 yards out, lots of mirage.   He had 17 ladies with him if I recall correctly.  I'm sure there will be some genes of this guy out there for future generations.

My guess is he has broke off a point or two, but bottom line, pretty good set of antlers

Man Bone, i sure have been enjoying your pictures this year!
How many days do you spend out in the field taking pictures? I would love to sit around a campfire and listen to some of your stories and experiences from the past!

Thank you Sneaky!   This year I had 14 days off over 3 weeks.  I made use of 13 of them.  In the old days I’d take almost a month off, but probably still only film about 20 days.  I need to do more campfire sitting.  That sounds nice.
