jumped em'

I try not to disturb game much when I am out there.  You'll note I use extension tubes, long lens and the pics tend to be alot granier this time of year.   Well ometimes it doesn't work.  I found this spot this fall and knew it looked bucklike.   I approached it and all of a sudden out of this little pocket 8 bucks jumped up.  Four went left and disappeared and four went up the hill.   The biggest ones went up as you see, so those were the ones I concentrated on.  They made their way slowly out of site while I tried to follow just to get an angle.  The others finally appeared behind me and were smaller so I made a good choice.

Very cool pics, and sometimes you can not help but bump em when they are bedded down.

About gave me a heart attack in that big sage.  I was afraid I'd miss them on film.   It was early morning yet and real piss poor lighting.  Some aren't the best but I will get them on here.  I was glad to see two of these bucks as it was pretty lean.  Granted I didn't have much time with the family in tow, but I was amazed at the acute lack of big bucks.  I think the late tag holders did well.
