Post by: boneaddict on February 13, 2009, 08:24:30 PM: Got the lens back, but kinda hard to handle one handed. It was interesting to say the least manuevering through the woods to get close to the bulls, without getting the hand wet, or the lens dropped.

Post by: boneaddict on February 13, 2009, 08:29:35 PM: the hardest was in the bush. I needed manual focus and that was nearly impossible one handed.

Post by: Ricochet on February 13, 2009, 08:39:57 PM: Good to see you back at it. I dropped and broke my 80-400 last winter, had serious withdrawals until it was repaired. So I know how you've been feeling. Enjoy being out, and heal up soon.
Great shots, the falling snow adds a nice touch.

Title: Re: back in business
Post by: boneaddict on February 14, 2009, 09:37:28 AM: Thanks TS. When that big bugger turned and ripped a bugle at me and I was actually looking through my viewfinder I was pretty ecstatic. I am usually standing there trying to get focused or some dang thing. Then my card filled up and I had bulls in front of me and I frnatically started deleting sheep pics.

Post by: TeacherMan on February 14, 2009, 09:39:33 AM: Great pics as usual, I would expect nothing else from you :chuckle: Have you seen any that have dropped there antlers yet?
Title: Re: back in business
Post by: WAPITIHUNTER on February 14, 2009, 09:41:17 AM: Talk about some incentive to draw a special permit. Those are some dandy bulls.

Excellent shots bone, :drool: keep em coming.
Title: Re: back in business
Post by: skybusterbo on February 14, 2009, 10:31:49 AM: Awesome pic's Bone. That second one could be on the front cover of any mag. The one behind the tree looks like he's dropped one side allready. :dunno:
Title: Re: back in business
Post by: boneaddict on February 14, 2009, 10:50:47 AM: Yep,he is missing one, BUT I am not convinced he shed. There was a one antlered bull in here last year as well.

Title: Re: back in business
Post by: boneaddict on February 15, 2009, 02:22:00 PM: Thanks, glad you guys/gals enjoy them. Hand was hurtin after that. Hope that means its healing. I HOPEFULLY get out of this cast Tuesday. I was grounded today. Figured it would be hard to keep dry. I'm more worried about my Cabin Fever at the moment than my hand.
