Post by: b23 on November 14, 2022, 11:05:46 AM: Nice! I can't even take pictures half that good, and I've tried. :bow:

Like anything, I know it takes time, generally a lot, to develop those skills but some people just seem to have knack for taking great photos and you Sir certainly have it.

I'm curious, how long have you been doing the photography thing?

400mm, crop sensor, probably about 30 yards, thats full frame. I got close, too close, he actually lowered his head at me to a point I backed off. There was some stuff in front of him I was trying to get clear of.

Post by: Dan-o on November 18, 2022, 08:49:11 AM: I feel like at some epoint in my life I'm going to take a pic that's as crisp and clear as your pics.
It's more of a hope than a feeling.

Post by: sjhgraysage on November 18, 2022, 10:17:51 AM: I'm guessing injured antler during the velvet phase.
It would be great to see if he lives, what he grows next summer.
Title: Re: Best of 2022
Post by: boneaddict on November 18, 2022, 05:04:10 PM: Thank you guys. Yeah, Iam always hopeful to see these critters again, though it doesnt happen very often. The buck I just posted Gnarls I think I might have him for the last three. I just recognize him.

Post by: boneaddict on November 20, 2022, 05:26:13 AM: It’s hard to get the perspective on this deer. He probably doesn’t look that wide, but this deer was just plain gigantic. If this set of antlers were on a Texas deer. :chuckle:. I see very few deer of this caliber anymore and I’m not just talking antlers. Very few deer blow me away :yike:

Post by: Rutnbuxnbulls on November 20, 2022, 05:41:57 AM: He is magnificent and a testament to what WA State bucks can look like! Is he by chance near the Ritzville unit I have a late archery buck tag there!! ;)

Seriously though thanks for the beautiful photography.
