"In The Rut"
« on: March 12, 2008, 11:34:22 AM »
Okay guys and gals, I was going through old pics and realized I have a ton of rut activity picks and thought I would share some. I would love to see all yours too so post them up. I'll start with this little guy, obviously thinks he a stud :chuckle: I hope you guys are not sick of picks, looking at them helps get me through the rest of the year. ;)

Hes probably right Jay, in that area the 4 and 5 year old bucks have better mass, typically.

I shot oen that big before that was only 2. still following his mom and sister aroudn the woods. defianitley wasn't rutting either if you try to say that. Just good high country genetics. Saw some 4 or 5 year olds uo there this summer that were prolyl close to 300 pounds on the hoof there were amazing buckskin color like an elk almost looke dlike elk at first. Only got one terrible picture and then the camera died.

How close were you to these deer?   Or do you just have a really good camera with a great zoom?

On these deer I dont remember, probably about 50 yards or so. Great gear is all relative Cougeyes, depends on who you ask. Its all Canon gear and seems to work well for me. Here are a couple more of these deer. Check out the pisscutter in the back waiting for his chance to cut in. :chuckle:

I missed the thread.  And all this time Phool was having all the fun by himself...  I get a lot of requests as to gear used and settings that pictures are shot at.  I'll try to include them when possible.

This first one is a big buck, there are a few pictures elsewhere on here with him.  I think the general consensus has been about 190" gross buck.  Here he was chasin the d-hoes...

Canon 40d, 300mm f2.8L, shot at iso 100 and f2.8 @ 1/250th

I took this one a number of years back.  This buck had it all, really mature.  He lip curled on the top of the ridge while looking over his ladies...

Canon A2, 400mm f5.6 Tokina, Velvia iso 50 film, f5.6 @ ~1/250th
