jumped em'
« on: December 30, 2009, 12:40:21 PM »
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.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

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.

Someone should put a heart monitor on me when this sort of thing is happening
