Title: 500 bucks
Post by: boneaddict on December 01, 2008, 12:20:14 PM: 504 actually for the month of November. That doesn't seem like alot really, but I sure thought it was. I either glasses, drooled over, hunted and or photographed that many bucks (98%) of them in the state of Washington for the month of Novemeber 2008. I finished teh month off with a bang yesterday with my daughter Madison. She really did her best spotting bucks for me, and dang if I hadn't had her along would have missed a bunch. Watch for the pics.

Post by: boneaddict on December 01, 2008, 04:55:54 PM: Madison spotted this guy down over the hill and I was impressed. He didn't exactly stand out. He was even more shadowy than the picture shows. I was glad he stayetd put for a couple of shots. The first three unfortunately were focused on the brush around him. I finally went to manual and got this one. Still not perfect but better than auto.

Post by: boneaddict on December 01, 2008, 06:06:02 PM: It gets way better. I was staring throughthe viewfinder at this guy when he stood up and was like what the heck and saw this guy behind him bedded down chewing his cud. I guess he felt pretty safe. Dad really isn't as sharp as the youngster. I got a bunch on this guy, I'll get him featured on here pretty soon in one of my Bones Bucks..... If it wasn't for Madison, i wouldn't have seen either buck. She is a good partner to have around. It gets even BETTER!

Title: Re: 500 bucks
Post by: boneaddict on December 01, 2008, 06:51:16 PM: so after this I was pretty excited. Then we got just a hair lower, back into the fog. I hated it. I so often watch bucks disappear into the fog. This day would be no exception. We were driving along and I was telling a story about a buck I had photographed two different day almost in the same spot. We got to that spot and she says, theres a buck Daddy. I stop and she turns and looks at me with HUGE saucer eyeballs. Its a huge one. I look down the hill and there is a small 4 point. I said you just saw a way bigger one than that. She says NO, Its behind the woodpile. (a slash pile) I said ok and asked her to stay in the truck while I try to slip out and get a pic. I get out and am unfolding the tripod and I look down the hill and there standing looking at me is a 35 inch monster. He turns and starts running away. I "waste" three seconds turning to Madison to tell her to get out and see him before he is gone. I turn back and he is about one leap from being gone. I raise my camera and click a pic without even knowing what was in the view finder...no time. Madison says that isn't him and she whispers he is behind the woodpile. You can imagine what I am thinking in my mind. I turn to the pile and take a couple steps and peer over the top. Of course the camera isn't tall enough. BONES EVERWHERE. Bucks exploded like a covey of quail. I stood there just like a stupified coyote not knowing what to do as a 30 incher, another massive tall rack, which was the one she was talking about, and a couple smaller ones disappear into the fog in every direction. I tried to capture a couple of them on film. It wasn't pretty and the pics I will post will be of typical documentation for you...NOT quality. The fog shots suck. If it wasn't for her spotting that buck, I am not sure what would have happened.

Post by: boneaddict on December 02, 2008, 02:12:34 PM: I knlow Lilly enjoyed the Zen Rays I was trying. Her eye doctor screwed the pooch and diagnosed her at 20-20. I knew she was having trouble seeing so I took her back in and said listen, my kid is not a liar and I am a good customer to you, could you take another look. Bottom line, they said she can see fine. Well thats crap. She can see better with my glasses on than without....long story short, we were out and I was telling her how to spot deer and she pointed and said like those....I said where as she was pointing to a herd of horses in a field. I am like what the heck.....She basically can't see squat. BUT........through my binos, she could see jsut fine, so spent the day looking through binos everywhere we went, including driving down the road. I figured she would get sick, but she was enjoying being able to see so much and spot so much. Now I just need to flog my eye doctor, and take her to a new one.......
Title: Re: 500 bucks
Post by: Charlie on December 02, 2008, 02:45:24 PM: Sounds like she had a great day with Dad. That's awesome. I hope the new Doc can get her what she needs. She will be able to see a WHOLE NEW WORLD.

Post by: boneaddict on December 02, 2008, 03:24:09 PM: Well, I took each of them out Daisy just isn't there yet...and they both saw Boone and Crockett animals in the state of Washington. I feel good about that. Thats not something you do every day.

Post by: boneaddict on December 02, 2008, 03:35:22 PM: here is one of the smallest 30 incher. He was probably closer to 29 but I gave him the benefit of the doubt because I didn't get to sit and study him. I had no clue he was ONLY a TWO POINT.

Title: Re: 500 bucks
Post by: boneaddict on December 02, 2008, 04:53:28 PM: I put alot of miles on the rig. Yep thats Nov1 to Nov 30. I spent most of the time this month in the woods. I was local for a few days while I was home, and then the rest was up in the Methow and in Colville. Not one deer in the Entiat, and only one spike in the desert. There were a couple in Idaho and Montana, but most were here in washington. Here is anotehr bruiser screwed by the fog. Madison and I tried to get closer but he always kept his distance and the fog just got thicker.

Post by: boneaddict on December 02, 2008, 05:10:09 PM: We got below the fog and went to whitetail country. I went to a spot where 7 years in a row I have rattled in a whitetail. I slammed the antlers together and did a round. I stopped then heard a grunt coming from teh direction Madison was watching. NOTHING, I grunted a couple times and waited, still nothing. I turned around and slammed them together again and then Madison said here he comes. I turned and he had us pinned. I let her look for a bit then I raised the camera. He started circling us. Here are a couple snaps of him. It was cool because she got to watch him come in down the shooting lane she was watching.

I tried my darndest to get this guy filmed the other day in the tall sage. Dang if he wasn't in the same area. This time I was spying from a LONG ways away. I set up the spotter for Madison and we watched 4 bucks that were running together. A week ago they were mortal enemies. Funny how that works over girls. He has a broken main beam.

Post by: boneaddict on December 02, 2008, 07:19:37 PM: You guys are nice. I could never guide. Just ask the gents I took out. I am a wreck of what happens for that day for them. It drove me nuts. WHat if nothing happens....to many variables. Though I guess I see some deer, it would still freak me out. I have guided my Dad and my wife to successful hunts, though the most satisfying experience in my life, it was also some of the most stressing.

Post by: boneaddict on December 02, 2008, 07:55:53 PM: I got to show Madison a really cool mental picture of these 4 bucks. I got the spotter on them just as they filed out of the sage single file and had her watching them. It was pretty cool even for the seasoned vet. 4 bucks and two does. No rutting activity, just time to eat.

We went to the head of a real tough canyon and saw a small one below and she got to watch a coyote for some time. I think I got him on film. I got two for sure, so AWESOME for the contest. Also I didn't know this but she hadn't seen a coyote before. My other girls see them all teh time. Anyhow, we checked out that canyon then came back and was headed to the truck and WTH, how did we pass this guy.

Hehe, that doesn't sound particularly safe! I went through the Yak canyon a couple times last weekend...had the wife drive so we didn't wind up in the river.

Awesome pics Bone! I replied first then went back and read the full thread. Just awesome that you're finding that many bucks (and quality bucks) out there. All the better that you've got your kid (and camera) along for the ride!

i drove the north cascades loop last weekend and saw 100+ deer from Mazama through Twisp. It was my first time over there and i now understand why everyone loves it up there! I've never seen so many deer and so many bucks and that was all just off the highway!
Title: Re: 500 bucks
Post by: boneaddict on December 03, 2008, 04:00:28 PM: Believe it or not Zack, its usually about 10 times better. Thats all the deer from all those mountains that have come down. There can literally be thousands if you know where to go. This is a tough year, but maybe they will ahve a slack winter and easy spring and they will rebuild and so will the range.

Post by: boneaddict on December 05, 2008, 06:49:28 AM: I am going to feature this guy in his own thread I think. Not that he is that big of a buck, but he was special to me. I tried my dangdest to get him on film last year but all I got was blurry pics of him. Well, he was acting the same way this year. He shrunk quite a bit from last year, but he was up to his same old ways, about 200 yards from where I chased him last year. IN THE THICK STUFF.

Not to play the whole wolf theory thing, but I found a shed buck that was killed by them last year right where this guy lived, so very well could have been him. Same size class. You have seen the pic, but one more time for memory lane for the new guys on here.

Post by: boneaddict on December 05, 2008, 07:56:25 AM: :chuckle: Not much to worry about there Sage. I saw so few whitetail bucks this year. I think they got some disappearing virus or something. Not even that much sign. Maybe its good and the Muleys can regain a foothold. I don't know. You'd have thought I would have found skulls laying everywhere out there but I didn't in whitetail country. :dunno: I am pretty sure its not poaching pressure as they don't tend to succomb to that like the muleys do. I was going to feaute this buck but I just didn't get that many different pics of him. He was steadfast in where he wanted to be in the thick stuff. He was a true fart last year, I'll see if I can find that pic. he had a doe and he didn't wnat to leave her because he had a pesky friend nearby. I know this buck is older, but he just doesn't look that impressive.

Last time I had all the trees in focus instead of him. this was an impossible mission for autofocus. We were on the dark side of the mountain and I was trying to see him to do manual focus on him. I am pretty sure this was evening. I don't have my time or date set on my camera compliments of my little photo friend playing with it. Anyhow here is one of his buddy. I think he is in focus and not the dozen trees around him.

This is the type of animal that I hold up as the ultimate trophy, ESPECIALLY in this state.

I am sure you have been asked before, but what equipment are you using? I am looking to get a dslr in the coming months, and I have narrowed it down to either a cannon or nikon. One lens any better than another? auto focus or manual? For shooting wildlife, what is the minimum lens you recommend?

Any help would be appreciated.

Title: Re: 500 bucks
Post by: boneaddict on December 16, 2008, 12:22:22 AM: Thanks again guys.

Huntbear. I have been doing this awhile and I have found that the 400mm is just about the best lens for wildlife, especially when shooting non park animals. 99% of what I shoot are hunted critters so you have to reach out there sometimes. One of the Canon 300mm lens is also awesome and would like to have one of those too for fast action. Anyway, its really up to what camera fits your hand and liking better in regards to Nikon versus Canon. I have always shot Canon, but the Nikon cameras are also awesome. I like Canon glass. You kind of limit yourself if shooting a Prime or fixed lens the 400 versus the variable zoom, but I think you get better pics with the Prime lens. There are alot better and more experienced pros on here. Pope was a great one to ask. He is/was a wealth of knowledge. I shoot the Canon 40D and its a great camera. THere is already one or two newer ones out. The older ones also shoot great. You can pick up a 20 or 30 D for a very reasonable price. The sky is the limit on lenses. If you can't get Canon glass, then there is always Sigma and Tamron which are fairly decent in a more moderate price range. Light is the biggest deal. The more money you can spend on glass the better off you are.
Title: Re: 500 bucks
Post by: Huntbear on December 16, 2008, 12:30:39 AM: Thanks for the info, I will keep doing my research, and ask Pope his advice. I am constantly looking at Ebay and Craigslist for deals. To me both the cannon and nikon fit me. I have held them all it seems like. To start out I will have to go with the cheaper glass. Just due to money constraints. However, I will leave myself room for upgrading as it is permitted by the wife. lol.
Title: Re: 500 bucks
Post by: boneaddict on December 16, 2008, 12:39:50 AM: I understand. I have taken deer pics since I was about 14 I would guess. I have used alot of different glass and most of it up until this year has been some of the cheapest most available on the market.

Post by: boneaddict on December 16, 2008, 12:42:06 AM: so I have snapper down the hill and two others in front of me and I spot another and out walks this guy. My first impression was this was the one I started all this off with. I figured he smelled a hot doe and came in for the little lady. Notice his stance and his hackles. He was not happy at the other buck that was with the doe. He ran him off....

Post by: boneaddict on December 16, 2008, 12:48:55 AM: I just about can't keep track now. I have at least 4 branch antlered bucks in front of me along with three pisscutters and one pisscutter down below me with a doe. I turn around and what the heck, now there is a pisscutter below with about 12 does. Where did they come from. I turned back around and was trying to get the one bigger buck on film. Some time passed and I turned around and what the heck, now there is a pisscutter, 12 muley does and a partridge in a ...I mean two whitetail does standing there. Where did they come from. I turn back around and get back to trying to capture this guy as he chases his doe around the big sage. Meanwhile, a couple of the smaller bucks decide to head down the hill to where all the other does are. I hear something and turn around and this guy is standing behind me. Where in teh heck did he come from. Well that shakes things up a bit down there.
Title: Re: 500 bucks
Post by: boneaddict on December 16, 2008, 12:53:04 AM: This is full frame by the way. No cropping I have no idea where he came from, but he about spooked me when I turned around and he was standing behind me.
I practically have to check my scorecard now to see how many bucks I have within 100 yards of me, let alone bow range.

Interesting genetics. i think you can find him under search... peculiar fellow I think thats what it was anyway. I hope I have more pics of him but haven't got that far yet.

Doesn't look like you should have a hard time finding a deer in the hunting season. :chuckle:
Title: Re: 500 bucks
Post by: boneaddict on December 22, 2008, 12:02:49 PM: nope just a hobby, or is that an addiction. It really doesn't do the justice of all the big bucks I have seen that I didn't get on film, even with camera in hand. They don't get big by being dumb in this state. All the deer I take pics of are hunted animals, NO PARK animals, so most of the big ones escape. Its alot harder to take a picture let alone a good picture of a big buck than shoot one. Thats part of why I do this. I love the challenge. The new lens this year was to help bridge the gap withthe dawn and dusk thing I e-mailed you about. Alot of times they are very nocturnal and there just isn't the light to get them on film. This state actaully has animals that will rival any other for the most part. Not near the quantity, but there are some real monsters hanging around as evidenced with some of the big ones showing up and shed antlers.
Title: Re: 500 bucks
Post by: wilsongideon on December 22, 2008, 05:46:46 PM: Yeah I agree its really tough to get a decent picture of a big deer. . all the big ones I have seen have been in tough enough areas that the only way to get em was to shoot em and they seem to hide better when hunters hit the hills imagine that.

Post by: boneaddict on December 26, 2008, 04:53:10 PM: Thanks Moose. I've still got a batch of pics to put on this thread. A guy needs more time. Teacherman I do whatever it takes to get where I've got to go. Thats from show leather to long miles on the rig. Today it was crosscountry skis. Alot of times its snowshoes or snowmobile or both, but this snow sucks for that.

Post by: Elkstuffer on December 26, 2008, 05:42:18 PM: Bone, In your opinion what is the overall shape of the herd/deer that you are seeing since the extreme cold temps set in? Are they looking ok? Just wondering.
Title: Re: 500 bucks
Post by: boneaddict on December 26, 2008, 07:48:28 PM: Methow herd, Yakima herd and I suspect the Entiat herd are in great shape. Animals are robust and range is good, and conditions are mild. Problem is we have wet or warm weather coming in. Once it ices or crusts or worse yet, rain then cold, the animals will start to suffer. I haven't been up to the Colville or around spokane but suspect their deep snows aren't helping them much.

Post by: wilsongideon on December 27, 2008, 10:09:48 PM: yep agreed seeing lots of deer around here in the regular spots. . . one spot didnt seem to hold nothing usually its got only one buck in there with a couple doe small area so maybe if the buck got killed the doe split for better breeding grounds early. .. same snow conditions 14 16 inches to 24 inches and light and powdry

Post by: TeacherMan on December 28, 2008, 09:43:38 PM: It rained all morning North of Spokane. We went from around 35" of snow to about 20" today. The problem is my almost 3 year old daughter can run across the top of what is left it packed down so hard from the rain. Then just after dark it dropped below freezing tonight. Doesn't look good. Predator heaven. :bash:

I'm wondering what those stickers will do.

Post by: dreamingbig on January 12, 2009, 08:39:44 PM: Simply unbelievable! I have to be honest... he would have been a shooter this year for me! It would have taken great restraint to pass him up.
Title: Re: 500 bucks
Post by: Pathfinder101 on January 12, 2009, 09:24:19 PM: OK Bone, for one thing, I am going to stop complaining that there are "no big muleys left", and I am going to start looking harder. Lots of bucks on this thread that are going to be bruisers next year.
This did seem to be a particularly good year for spotting good deer after the season. Either that or I am getting better at it. When we got that big snowstorm I was able to spot 2 good muleys in areas I have never seen them in before. The snow must have pushed them down. I also spotted a muley that probably went about 170. I think he was a deer that I saw about this time last year, but haven't seen him since. He is young, but real healthy. Not much mass, but very tall and about 27 wide. Private property though. Probably die of old age.
Another thing, I am going to start carrying a camera. I already carry binos and a spotting scope in my work rig, one more thing on the dashboard won't take up too much room.

LOVED the pics in this thread. THere is nothing in the world like having your kid reach a level where they start spotting game on their own. You know they are becoming a hunter. A predator. That's the difference between hikers and hunters. Hikers observe the environment. Hunters are part of it.
thanx for sharing...
Title: Re: 500 bucks
Post by: boneaddict on January 13, 2009, 06:29:29 AM: Thanks guys, you are right Pathfinder, alot of satisfaction in that. At least the kids know how nice a 190 buck is, the Mrs won't even get out of the car.
Probably about 1/2 of them were photographed I guess. Maybe a 1/3. There are the ones that got away and there were the ones in the fog that it was useless and then there are the ones I let walk just because they were too small, or not close enough. I took about 30,000 pics or so this year I suppose and about 12,000 of them came from November.

I have a stepbrother from Switzerland that came up to our elk camp for two days this year. We got him 40 yards from a 300+ bull that was mad as hell. Said it was one of the coolest experiences of his life. My 9 year old was bugling into a canyon and had 4 bulls come together right below him. Quite a scene. They all disappeared into the timber below us within a minute of each other. Lots of comotion, then the two smaller ones (raghorns) came barreling out. The two 6-bys went at it for a while. We couldn't see them from our perch, so I don't know if they locked up or if they were just hitting trees. When one finally came out he had so much grass hanging off his antlers I don't know how he could see. Lots of good bulls up here, we just can't shoot 'em..

...still, they're fun to watch, and my boy gets to go home from elk camp every year with new stories.

Post by: Pathfinder101 on January 18, 2009, 11:37:41 PM: THat's true. 2 years ago, when he was 8, my son pulled a 5X5 in to about 15 yards. He stood there broadside for a full minute (of course I had an arrow nocked, just in case a cow stepped out behind him), and then trotted off. After he left, I got the third degree:
"why haven't you been drawn yet dad?"
"How long before you get drawn?"
"How do you fill out the application?"
"Are you sure you have been doing it right?"
"Maybe you should talk to someone who has been drawn and make sure you are doing it right..."

...Is it bad to be fed up with WDFW before you are even old enough to take Hunter's Ed?

Title: Re: 500 bucks
Post by: boneaddict on February 08, 2009, 06:44:30 AM: I WISH!!! Think of the pictures I could come up with then. Nope, I save up all my vacation and take as much of the fall off I possibly can. Then I DRIVE DRIVE and DRIVE soem more, usually throughout hte night to get to all of my fave places at daylight. Most of the time I don't get to use as much vacation, but I dug deep this year. I actually dipped into this years banka bit It won't be as nice this fall.
