Post by: 257 Wby Mag on December 28, 2014, 08:36:45 PM: Sorry bout those lines,it was meant to say " Adler"... didn't know they had Adler in whitetail country....
Title: Re: The wow whitetail
Post by: Jonathan_S on December 28, 2014, 08:55:21 PM: Plenty of Alder in some whitetail country.

As for Adler, I believe that was the name of a villainous femme fatale from "Sherlock Holmes" :dunno:

I dont think that buck is that young and to hard to tell without a side view

Title: Re: The wow whitetail
Post by: Firedogg on December 29, 2014, 03:20:29 PM: Without getting too specific it was in the draw of a creek that eventually feeds into the Kettle river.

i have pics of another in the area after the velvet shed before rifle season that at first I thought was the same buck, but looking at it there was no way it matched up with this guy. I'll post him up when I get back on the computer at home. I have yet to see any of these big guys when I am over there with a tag I can put on them.

Post by: bearpaw on December 29, 2014, 03:36:26 PM: that buck has some serious "wow" factor
Title: Re: The wow whitetail
Post by: hunting4sanity on December 29, 2014, 04:29:19 PM: That certainly is a wow of a deer! Great photos, how close were you & what kind of camera if you don't mind saying?
Title: Re: The wow whitetail
Post by: Firedogg on December 29, 2014, 06:13:48 PM: About 45 feet when he came over the log, closer on the head shot and the camera spooked him instantly with the one shot.

I have to guess it was the Canon 1D I had back then with the 70-200 2.8 IS lens, most likely shot wide open at f2.8m. Could have been compression from the focal length along with the OOF area that makes that "adler" in the background look huge. I have to dig through the files on CD where the original is to read the exif info for the exact set up. Where I have this stored online it stripped that info.
