Very nice photos! What are you taking them with, and about how far away are you when you are taking them? They are very nice photos, and I'm looking to improve my wildlife photography during the off season, and I was curious what your set up is because you do a nice job.

Thanks. I was using an Olympus E-5 with their prime 300 lens. It's 2 crop lens so in essence its effect is that of using a 600mm lens. The photos I posted were shot from 20 yards out to about 70 yards, but most were somewhere in between.

Hi Zeke, how the heck did you know that. I just spent too many years hiking with heavy packs and covering a lot of country and finally wore out both of my knees. I had my right knee replaced on Feb 4, 2014 and go in a week from tomorrow (March 17th) to get my right knee replaced.
It just got to where I just could not get around like I used to, and being I hiked hard all my life, and my interests remained just like they were when I was young, I want to give myself a chance at getting back to do all the things I like to do, and that includes some hard, long hikes and hopefully some better photos because of it. Thanks for asking. BB

Welcome back Bill, hope you up and around, and doing well again. I posted a get well thread after your surgery so guys could wish you well. For some stupid reason, A moderator moved it to the campfire forum. Like you ever go there.

Here's hoping your next surgery goes well!
I love your pics and usually follow anything from or about you. (good hell, I'm a 60 year old groupie! LOL)
I probably heard it from Yelum. Larry seems to be pretty well connected and keeps us informed on matter like this.
Well, good luck!
Thanks for the photos, as always!

Well I am a 73 year old has been. But nature has been my choice of drugs and I am still hooked on it and always will be. It still gives me the same highs at this age as it did when first exposed to it as a young boy in the wilds of Wyoming!
Thanks for good wishes. I just want to get this behind me so I can keep doing what I like to do and that is enjoy nature, bow hunt and take a few photos along the way.

Great pics( as usual), BB. I, too, have been looking into possible knee replacement, but it scares the he!! out of me. Hope it turns out well.
That buck in the 4th pic of the 2nd set( He's also in the 1st set of pics) has an unbelievably huge neck and chest. The biggest I've seen, I do believe!

I think we are starting to see the results of what happens when all you kill are the big, nice bucks, and let the scrub bucks continue to live and breed. After so many years there are far more inferior bucks with weak gene traits than there are super bucks.
Things have really changed big time, from back in the 50's. In those days there were lots of nice bucks, but many of the people who hunted them, hunted for meat, thus didn't want to shoot some big, heavy horned buck, as in those days most of us just threw the antlers away anyway.
And back in those days most deer were taken with an open sighted 06, 270, 30/30 or such weapon at reasonably close range. A few big bucks were taken, but with the numbers in those days, many nice bucks remained.
Step forward to today. We have far less deer, far fewer big bucks, way more hunters, and the fire power and range in which they can kill bucks, compared to those days, is no comparison. Add to that the very few areas we have today, where there is limited hunting.
When one keeps taking out of the gene pool, the best of the best, and leave the worst of the worst, what more can one expect!
Don't get me wrong, the Henry's are a great place, and its fun to go there and see the deer, but I notice every year it gets harder and harder to find the really nice bucks. Hunting has changed so much in the past 60 years and with today's management and push to sell the high price tags, or draw the sportsman tags, that in many areas and with some species, and especially mule deer, what else can one really expect but more of the same. Soon the Henry's will be gone as we have known it in the past. Its just a matter of time with the way it is being hunted and managed.

Getting new knees is really no fun, but the alternative to me was worse. For years I could hike with just about anybody and I was lucky as I had never hurt my knees or had any leg injuries, like many do. But I have always hiked and walked and for many years walked with a heavy back pack, to keep in condition. My knees felt good the first 70 years, but the last three they have just continued to get worse to the point I could no longer hike or walk very far because of the pain. My body might be giving up, but in my mind there's still a lot more that I want to do and mountains and hills I want to climb, thus I made the decision to get them done. I was bone on bone on both knees and after so long its gets easier to make the decision to get them fix. My wife had both of hers done about 7 years ago. She got to where she could hardly walk. She had both of hers done at the same time, and one can not appreciate what that takes, until they do both or at least one of theirs. Then you get a good grasp of what one goes through. I wanted to get both of mine done at the same time too, but the doctor told me he felt I was too old and that he really believed that if I did them separately, I would recover down the road, faster than if I had them both done at the same time. It took my wife well over a year before she was glad she did it. But now she can hike with the best of hikers and has absolutely no pain. And so that's what I hope it does for me, because, like I say, I still have a lot more walking and talking I want to do!
I would say go as long as you can, but when it gets so bad you have to limit big time, your walking and hiking, then get yourself a really good surgeon, who specializes in hips and knees and get it done. I am five weeks out of surgery yesterday and walk with very little limp and hardly no pain. I still have a long ways to go to build up my stamina. I can see why many who get one knee done, don't opt for the second for several years, as its not an easy operation and PT is tough, but I just want to get it over and get going again. Best wishes to you. Here I come ST Patty!
And yes that buck is a tank of a buck. He has a huge neck and muscular, big body to go along with it. And he has an attitude that goes with the size of his neck. He indeed is a bruiser!

............and yet there are still guys out there who look down their noses if a guy shoots a forky!
With all the constant pressure on the top tier buck it's a wonder any of them grow large at all....ever!
Good thoughts BB. I've seen what we've done and the direction we've gone in the last 45+ years of deer hunting. It's a different breed of hunter out there nowadays. And the internet? Now that's an whole other story!

Supposedly you only need three generations to affect the genitics in humans and deer. Maybe this is why you are hearing the $$ tag buyers complain about the quality going down on the henry mountains.
