Title: Scouting pic... this buck is probably safe
Post by: sooperfly on November 10, 2009, 12:51:50 PM: Pic of the smallest buck I saw last weekend out scouting. I'm guessing he'll probably be safe. :)

Swanny - 300mm2.8IS lens + 1.4x on a 1DMK3.

Checked the exif -- 420mm, iso 250, 1/1000 , F4

Got pretty lucky as the sun decided to peek a little bit through the clouds as I came across this guy.. soon after it was snowing.
