Here's a buck I've seen a few times now and been able to photograph once from close enough for my camera to get a good pic.

[Head-shot]

Holy smokes, great pictures so far guys. Damn we are off to a really good start, keep them coming.

[LOVEMYLABXS]

Just part of my drive to work  I see this little bachlor herd off and on barely got any shooters though most are only 2bys

[rackattack]

Great pictures guys.

[Muleyslyr]

Really like Spokane and cohoho's pics.  Heck, I like all the velvet pics.  Great theme for August.

Although probably not cover photo material, but a good excuse to put up my velvet Whitetail I shot last Archery season. 

[Muleyslyr]

Another one....

[saylean]

Good looking buck Muleyslyr...

[DeKuma]

Would not sell those pictures short MuleySlayer (Whiteyslayer).

I think they are pretty good pics with the background and a nice deer to boot.  If we could wipe out the guy holding them, they would be near perfect!
