Title: The moment you realize
Post by: boneaddict on November 13, 2016, 08:25:43 AM: That brush pile isn't just a brush pile. This is zoomed of course, but you get the idea.

Post by: boneaddict on November 13, 2016, 08:38:42 AM: Yes. The best was in the cover and facing me. That will no doubt be a Calender shot. He came out for just a second to run at an opposing buck. Then right back into cover. I enjoyed watching his behavior. He then eventually broke cover as his doe moved off towards the herd. I got him coming into three other bucks. Then later that night just before dark, I got him in the wide open. He had finally run the rat pack off.

Post by: boneaddict on November 13, 2016, 09:11:48 AM: Yes. Probably one of the top three three points I have seen.

Post by: Rainier10 on November 13, 2016, 09:21:37 AM: Great photo. You mention the calendar, when will it be available? I get four of them each year, one for me and three for the guys in deer camp.

Post by: boneaddict on November 13, 2016, 01:06:20 PM: I'm trying my best to fill a Calender this year. It would be nice for some weather to move in. I'll have the elk for sure if not the deer. I'm hoping to have both. Usually about thanksgiving time.

Post by: fishnfur on November 13, 2016, 03:20:14 PM: Sadly, I think that many times that brush pile just remains to my mind, just a brush pile, completely unrecognizable to my squash as to the actual situation in front of my eyes. That "moment" happens much less often than I'd like. Darned Blacktail.

Nice pic Bone! Stunning buck.

I would take a best of calendar or just a few rehashed pics if you need filler for a few months. :tup:

Post by: 7mmfan on November 14, 2016, 01:37:29 PM: Awesome buck. Looks very much like the big 3 I killed in the Methow a few years back, same G2 tine length difference and everything. He was just shy of 28" spread.

Post by: pianoman9701 on November 15, 2016, 06:54:03 AM: Another great shot, Bone. Thanks.

He is a little wider than 28
