Title: Stud Blackie
Post by: 6x6in6 on November 08, 2014, 04:06:23 PM: For 3 years I have tried to get a good photo or two of this buck. Weather it be or him (him mostly) various things have not cooperated.
I only see him for about 10 days out of the year here in November. Otherwise, he's just never around at least in the daylight hours.
3 years ago I saw him as a very nice 4x4 with average width and mass. Last year he was 4x5 and heavy. This year he's all grown up now - 5x6, wide, excellent mass and extra junk to boot.
I want to apologize for the quality of the pics. Normally this time of year I have my DSLR and 80x200 on board. Of all the days I chose to drive a different truck to work, it has to be today. :(
The I-phone photos at full zoom and 40 yards is as good as it gets.
He's sniffing the trail that a half dozen does cruised thru not 20 minutes earlier.

Enjoy!!
