I'm all over Teanaway, but yes these are from the Methow.
UBA. I have been absolutely addicted to bone my whole life. Any set of antlers I could touch and measure I would. I collected books and magazines and would spend hours out there from bicycle days (before driver license) to now. Hornseeker and I would hit shows, shed antler hunt, you name it. It kinda got to a point where I think people didn't believe all the deer I was seeing, so I started to want to document them. It merged into what it is today. Its at a point where I think its harder to get a photo of a big buck than it is to kill it. I enjoy the challenge. Its just like hunting. I've always enjoyed photogrpahy even from an early age. I guess I got that from my mother. It was her cmaera I "borrowed" to capture my first buck image.
