couple whoppers in a blizzard

Squirrel · Dec 30, 2009

Walking the dogs again and came upon these two as the snow socked us in. It was tough to focus and keep the lens clear but the pics turned out pretty good.

Great pics Squirrel, how's the winter treating the deer up there?

Squirrel · Dec 31, 2009

Very cold but light snow pack so far, these deer are still relatively high.

Where are the whoppers?

zekers · Dec 31, 2009

Ute, go away. You're starting to act like your hunt-lez partner. You used to be alright, now your just running your mouth alot.

Thanks Squirrel for the great Pic's!!

Reminds me a lot of the evening that i took my buck in Wyoming this year. Looking up on the ridge side, that a lot of the deer in the area were holding on in that storm, was needed but painful to do with all the frozen rain blasting into our eyes, optics, and face.

One good thing about a storm like that, maybe in your photo's case too, is that deer will use the lee side of a ridge to get under and out of the main blast of winds and storm. A person knowing this, can use this info to concentrate his search to those areas with that kind or terrain.

In our case, it was late in the season, almost Nov, as well so there were new bucks that we had not seen before included in the groups of deer trying to get out of the storm. The buck i took was no monster but one of the better we saw on that trip and we may not have found him at all if not for that storm.

I love whoppers.

You are blessed to "walk the dogs" and see critters like this. They look fat and healthy...good to see. Thanks for sharing.

Nice, thanks for sharing.

Squirrel · Jan 2, 2010

I too am fat... and not so healthy as I would like. My pics would be better if the dogs didn't get to go along but my wife and I have a saying, tired dogs are good dogs, so they go along. One from yesterday

The other side of the herd was controlled by this one:

This one was a nice photo of a very medium buck.

AWESOME BUCKS, THANKS FOR SHARING

Nice pics of nice bucks, squirrel! I haven't had much success seeing nice ones while hunting (even if I'm lucky enough to draw). But I've been going out video-taping bucks during the rut and post-season for a couple of years now, and I've had a ball. Got some pretty decent footage of a buck fight, bucks jumping fences, lip curls, posturing to each other, bedded down, etc. I appreciate you sharing your pics.
