Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Cookie's Post Season Deer Pics and Other Things

Cookie's been camping out for the last three weeks mostly chasing mule deer and anything else that will stand for her cameras. A couple thousand images, so thank God we are past the film days. Still another great reason to be out there. Things were a bit tougher for her this season, but there are a few left for next year.

Excellent pics, thanks for sharing

I have hunted mule deer for over 50 years and Cookie's bucks are always trophy class to me. Now, I would rather take pictures of them and I use Cookie's high quality pics. as goal to aim for with my own pictures. ---- I am not there yet.

Keep'em coming,

Ken

Dedication, patience, and volume are the secrets. For Cookie, it was a solid 3 weeks of being out there from dawn to dusk. We bumped into some serious professionals this season, and they really cover a lot of ground and lean on the shutter a lot. One reported he had 5000+ images to go through. At that rate, one is sure to come up with a real jewel now and then.

For me, it's another reason to be out there, and once in a while I get to handle a camera.

Finally: Found a near face-on view of that last 4x5. Would be a bit more impressive with a slightly wider angle to the antlers.


I think that is the same animal that came through and whipped up on the local boss last fall. Here's a capture from 2015 after the shoving match ended in a creek.

Great pictures! Thanks for sharing!
