AI Bucks

O_S_O_K · Jan 1, 2015

Larry, these are for you my friend!

I have been going out to the island to try and get Mule Deer shots for a couple of years and I finally came across some in a situation where I could get some decent shots.

I sure wish the lighting was better but you take what you can get when it presents itself to you.

Hope you enjoy!

Just a really young buck with some great genetics!

The one on the left was a wide and cool looking 3

How about a little jewelry for the ladies

I really like the character on this dude!

Oh it seems double D has had a size reduction to a D ?

O_S_O_K · Jan 2, 2015

Thanks everyone for the kind remarks!

Squirrel, I was fortunate to only be about 40 yards from them and they were very comfortable with that. I shoot a Nikon D7100 with the new AF-S 80-400mm lens.

Squirrel · Jan 3, 2015

That explains a lot OSOK, all I can get that close to are lil pisscutters and does. I thought maybe you took Shedygagas lessons to heart and were digiscoping those at 300+. Which would lead to some squirrel depression as mine are still stuck in a rut. I need to spend some acorn money on some new crap and am too cheap. Or I just need some dumber deer.

O_S_O_K · Jan 3, 2015

Yeah Squirel, you probably already know there is just now substitution for getting close and having good equipment. I know Sheddy gets some awesome stuff and when it comes to digiscoping I don't think there are many that have his abilities or can compare with his results, but even that can't compete with a DSLRs sensor and good glass to shoot through and getting to within 30-40 yards.

Believe me, I have been to the island numerous times and this was the first time I was able to get any decent shots of some nicer bucks. I am usually chasing small Bucks and Does as well. There are many trips I have made to the Island and came home with nothing but some shots of a Meadowlark or something, if I was lucky!

Part of it is definitely putting in the time and just getting a little lucky by being in the right place at the right time. When you spend a lot of time in the field you are much more likely to be able to capitalize on those opportunities

I will post some more AI shots I have done soon of other critters.

Have a great day!

You Guy's are CHEATIN with those "LONG RANGE" Cameras!

To be Ethical you'll have to go back to an Old Polaroid & Get Closer for GAWDS Sakes!

Might as well be me!

O_S_O_K · Jan 3, 2015

Thanks Larry, I will definitely get a hold of you next time I go out.

Elkassasin, I had never thought about this in the terms of the long range, short range sense but that's funny right there!

Awesome pics! Thanks for sharing.

Dude, that's crazy! Sure looks like him collar and all. Do you think the Coyotes are responsible? What else out there could have done it?

Thanks for sharing!
