While I was afield hunting, Cookie went to her camp and exercised the camera. She did much better than I. If one counts the smallish trash, this was a 7 by 5 ![[Linked Image]](http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e344/2minutes/7x5_zps7780c027.jpg) They can't all be bucks, and she managed to catch up with the black doe we saw last January. This year she was trailed by a typical fawn on a frosty morning. ![[Linked Image]](http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e344/2minutes/Blackie_zps4c35e091.jpg) This was a 6x7 that unfortunately would not come out into the open for a clear shot. ![[Linked Image]](http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e344/2minutes/6x7_zps59d5267d.jpg) A symetric 5x5 and likely one she saw last season in the same locale. ![[Linked Image]](http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e344/2minutes/5x5_zps7792f6c3.jpg) Hard to tell from this angle, but a 4x5. ![[Linked Image]](http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e344/2minutes/4x5_zpsdc91f904.jpg) Not an especially good rack, but this guy was built like a buffalo. I wish we could run him across some scales. He would be a force to be reckoned with. ![[Linked Image]](http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e344/2minutes/4x4buff_zps0f66ac21.jpg) A typical 4x4 with balanced width and height, and he looks to be in great condition.

[img] http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e344/2minutes/Doe_zpsfa3bd4df.jpg[/img] Be safe, and have great Thanksgiving out there,

Nice pics. My favorite is that last buck. I've never shot one shaped like that.

Awesome pics! I love mule deer!
That "buffalo" buck looks like he just came from the gym. He should have a caption above his head that says "I lift things up and put them down" lol

GSP814: You should hunt with Cookie! I had my chances this season looking for Big Eddy in a different unit, but it ended up being tag soup for me. Still a great year, and I can't wait for 2014. Thanks for the comments troops,

Great pics. Thanks.
That 5x4 has three brow tines. I still can't figure out why they aren't counted, as they are preferable to most, over a buck with no brow tines and are figured in scoring.
