Title: zooming through pics Why in the heck
Post by: boneaddict on December 19, 2013, 09:43:24 AM: I was zooming though pics this morning at break and I ran into a couple, and I was like why in the heck did I take these. I still don't see it in the first one, but I finally saw it in the last one.

Post by: boneaddict on December 19, 2013, 09:53:33 AM: Like I said, I took several photos and cant figure out why, except for him there. THey are different, so presume he was walking. Can you see him here? Not a trick question. I cant find him

I think you had Buck Fever and missed your focus point. :chuckle:

Post by: wamuledeer on December 19, 2013, 10:02:43 AM: Possibly almost centered left to right but at top third. Maybe a little right of center. Looks like some tines sticking up from that whitetail?

I probably was road hunting again, and laid my camera on the hood and it snapped off a dozen pics before I moved the camera, one I just got lucky and there he was. This was 501 :chuckle:

Post by: huntnphool on December 19, 2013, 10:06:53 AM: 4 point whitetail?

Post by: Heredoggydoggy on December 19, 2013, 10:08:22 AM: Deer standing just right of center? I can see the light to dark color change where the line of his belly is... :dunno:
Title: Re: zooming through pics Why in the heck
Post by: boneaddict on December 19, 2013, 10:09:20 AM: I think so, at least in the first pic. As for the rest, I think I was documenting the grass. :chuckle: I still don't see it. Generally its a safe bet to look somewhere in the middle, unless I am playing a game of find the deer, which I am not here.

Post by: Broken Arrow on December 19, 2013, 10:10:49 AM: Far left, on the edge....can see one side of his rack.
Title: Re: zooming through pics Why in the heck
Post by: wamuledeer on December 19, 2013, 10:12:24 AM: I was thinking right where I circled below.
Title: Re: zooming through pics Why in the heck
Post by: Broken Arrow on December 19, 2013, 10:12:56 AM: is in the same hole in the thicket....your just way off center.
Title: Re: zooming through pics Why in the heck
Post by: boneaddict on December 19, 2013, 10:13:13 AM: I was thinking center, top third in the red brush, I think I see tines. Why I focused on the weeds and grass, maybe I just suck and was trying to document the deer. I'll go back and look BA

Post by: boneaddict on December 19, 2013, 10:13:50 AM: YES, that's what I was looking at WAMULE
Title: Re: zooming through pics Why in the heck
Post by: scout/sniper on December 19, 2013, 10:17:44 AM: It's right inside the circle, face and right side antlers are visible.
Title: Re: zooming through pics Why in the heck
Post by: boneaddict on December 19, 2013, 10:20:07 AM: One of the reasons I am wondering is this is the frame previous to that one. You can see that in the far left, whereas if I was tracking him, youd think he would be closer to center here.

Post by: boneaddict on December 19, 2013, 10:23:17 AM: maybe I was just poking and hoping. Saw movement and wanted to capture him :dunno:

Ah, I didn't see the first pic. Whitetail rack just slightly right of center, just above the yellow grass in the dark. All the camera saw was the bright grass in the foreground....

Previous pic, same belly line at the left as in the first pic I looked at. The rest of the deer is lost in the dark...

Post by: Dave of TDG-Farms on December 19, 2013, 11:27:35 PM: In the first picture dead center I am pretty sure I see a 4 point whitetail rake. He is side profile, looking to the left. Just at the top of the long grass where it meets the darker branches of the trees.
