Title: Bones Bucks II
Post by: boneaddict on November 22, 2008, 02:19:07 PM: Here is one that Lil Bone and I stumbled upon. I REALLY liked this buck. Damn I wish I would have seen him with a tag in my pocket. I came up on him and kicked him out of his bed and he slipped over the hill. I figured he was gone. I had just told Lilly how I often see bucks right here and its a good spot because they run up this draw and you get to watch them a long ways. then you can drive up above them and catch them on top and you can see them again. ANYHOW, I told Lil to stay put and I ran to the edge and he was right there below me. I waved to Lilly to hurry over...... i snapped these. Notice the frost on his red bones. LOVED the color. Loved the way they flared. Loved the height...did I mention I loved the color. Anyhow, another Washington buck in an open season with hunters about....

These were probably the best pics I got of deer, except maybe the rams. Little harder to get within "bow" camera range when you have a tike along, though we did pretty good.

Post by: boneaddict on November 25, 2008, 06:23:19 AM: Thanks guys. It was pretty cool seeing the frost on them. Not sure I have ever noted that before. I have seen snow and stuff, but never frost. If I had, well my heads were in the clouds. Maybe it just stood out with his dark bones.
