Scouting pic... this buck is probably safe
« on: November 10, 2009, 12:51:50 PM »
Pic of the smallest buck I saw last weekend out scouting.  I'm guessing he'll probably be safe.   :)

Sooper is holding out on us.  That is a great photo because you caught the action and you can tell quality glass was used to take the image.  The buck pops out of the photo because you used a good lens.  Great job man.

I agree.  When the detail in the chin whiskers is that good, it is a quality photo.

Thanks for the kind words. 

Swanny - 300mm2.8IS lens + 1.4x  on a 1DMK3.

Checked the exif -- 420mm, iso 250, 1/1000 , F4

Got pretty lucky as the sun decided to peek a little bit through the clouds as I came across this guy.. soon after it was snowing.

I agree, I bet most of his brothers were only spikes this year as well. He'll have some great character in a couple of  years.
