i also have found out that the photos are a little off, mine seem grainy, i got a sony video hi8 handycam 560x digital zoom, optical 20 whatever. ha ha ha, thats just what it says on the side anyway. i have a cd rom software disc and i loaded the program, and i played my november MULE DEER tape trying to get a still photo to put online. i wanted to show my buck off, i did'nt get any regular photo's until i was home on the concrete driveway, and i would have liked to post a desert scene. i can edit the photo till it looks great, but i can't seem to send it anywhere. so i'm still working on it, but i think i will just use the driveway photo for now. i'm sure the moisture thing is what the difference is, you know the southern desert can't compete with any wet places in the whole world. i can't remember any deer i've even seen taken, even by another hunter when i would hang out at the g&f check stations looking at different deer being brought in that had even 1 tick. there were a couple of deer we got that had some strange lumps under the skin, on the spine and upper back, but we never really looked into what they were. they were black bumps that you could see/touch, all under the hide, with no openings, bleeding, pus, etc..... but when skinning them out they were just flat on the inner hides. upon them getting back from the tannery, they are there but not lumps anymore, just flat black "spots" on the hides. no-one had ever seen them before, so i guess it was a freak thing.
