Is this strictly hobby shooting, or are you folks able to sell photos?

This is Oregon. If you want to sell a photograph of the queens deer you have to buy a permit.

Really good pics. I'm always amazes how good Cookies photos are.

Ironbender:



Strictly a hobby that's beginning to weigh down the hard drives. If one went into sales, the good times would become work. Might start selling if/when we get too old to get out. Right a 73 here and Cookie is 67, so maybe in 20 years or so. Two or three professionals run the same ground for a week or so each fall. Some are fine folks, while others are competitive buttheads seeking info but never sharing any. Drives them nuts when one comes up with something like the black fawn and they can't run it down.

Have a good one,

fantastic pics and commentary. Thanks for sharing

Man just incredible photography & subjects thanks so much for sharing!

Thanks to you both. Always enjoy seeing your pics of the dry side of our state.

Ain’t it the truth.

My upmost thanks to Cookie and yourself for giving me virtual buck fever.

Beautiful pics, thank you.

Nice photos and thanks for posting them.

Some really nice pictures. Thanks for posting them

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking it’d be worthwhile to have a table at craft fairs or sell as stock photos so as to recoup costs of electronics, equipment, fuel etc. Perhaps go at least break even.

Sounds like it for personal satisfaction though. We here certainly benefit, so thanks again for posting.

A buck found early on this season that seemed to vaporize in subsequent weeks. We think this was one of our more common sightings last year.


Has some issues with these guys this season, as they were doing raids on the wall tent about every other night. We kept the edibles well protected in larger tubs, but they still tossed around everything that was not tied down.


Was a good year for bunnies. One of the big bull cottontails.


And a good year for coyotes as well. The secret to getting them is to spot them a quarter or half mile ahead as they work a ditch or fence line with the wind in your favor. Get well planted, and they'll nearly walk right into one.


A different one.


Did have one drop tine sample this season.


Same buck on brighter day.


Great Blue Heron


Have a good one, and see you tomorrow,

Great photos. Contact National Geographic they will use most of these pics in the next edition.

Just a cold frosty morning and into the sun - a heavy 3 by.


Caught a few Great Horns out too.


Couple more landscape shots


including an image of the big 4 by. Heard about some elk one morning in the background, but we were too late in getting there. Background is a sure give away for those familiar with SE Oregon.


Magpie cleaning station


Muskrat


and a rarity for us but a nice fly by - Trumpeter Swan


Will try to wrap this up tomorrow morning. Have a good one,

OK. The last run.

Managed to run down some otter.




Likely an injured pelican, as all its friends have long departed.


Redtail Hawk


Rough legged hawk


And a Ringneck.


That's a wrap. Have a good one,
