Cookie hit the trail for right at a month this fall. Thirty days out, and she went through about 120 gallons of fuel. While the primary goal was mule deer, if it walks, crawls, flies, swims, digs in the earth, or gets in her way she will take its picture. Humans are an exception.

A slightly more extravagant camp established Oct 21 with both the travel trailer (sleeping) and 12x14 wall tent (cooking, eating, and evening socializing in a warm environment). Much superior to huddling around a campfire on windy evenings.

About 3 weeks later conditions had changed (tarp on tent so snow will slide off), and she had a few campsite visitors around. Seems the does were fond of Halloween pumpkins, and the bucks tracked the does.

Now a sampling from the thousands of images captured:
A 3By in the early morning shade.

A slightly larger version.

And a 3 by 4.

Then a 4 by 3.

Caught one crossing the river behind camp leaving her with only a rear view.

Will add to this tomorrow, as it's been a long day, and I think one is only allowed 7 or so images in a single post. Have a good one,

I recognize that campsite! Spent a week there hunting coyotes a few years back. Great photos.

Fireball2: Ones discretion is appreciated, as there will be several landscapes as the string progresses.

Back again. Had a few 5By's but no real monsters around. Can't quite see the small point on its left side.

First saw this guy about 4 miles away from where this image was captured. Might be a good one if he lives for a couple more years.

Same buck as first image in this set, but a little closer look.

An early morning 4by

And an early morning landscape shot. Typically trying for portrait like images and not equipping any cameras with smaller lenses. Tried a bit to rectify that this season to show more of the greater environment.

Not the best of images (evening), but the only beaver we encountered on land. Seem to be essentially nocturnal around here. A really noisy image taking some post processing to bring it to life.

Big Eddy. A 4 by 6 if one gets a close look at some images that follow. Probably the largest buck encountered this go around and one that's been seen repeatedly over the last 4 or 5 seasons. If one can get a close up portrait he has some distinguishing marks over his left eye. Seems to be a late comer each season, showing up around the second or third week of November, and not fond of allowing much in the way of a close approach. Will put up a couple more images of him in the next set.

Due to family work schedules we're doing Thanksgiving a day early here. Gotta go check the Weber and turkey. Have a good one, and will chime in tomorrow.

A sincere thank you for sharing this with us. A cold front is blowing through and it's raining sideways here, so this is just what I need to pass the time. What Minnie model is that?

As far as I know, it's just called a Winnebago Minnie. Cookie likes it, but I couldn't care less. Has a real bathroom and independent shower, a second outside stove and fridge, and will sleep three if one breaks down the dinner table in the slide out. Was not really much use to us as temps were going into the single digits and we winterized things before leaving. Batteries also seem to be wanting when boon docking, so we did not run much in the way of heat. Just put an extra blankie on the bed.

Cookie runs around with three cameras, all Canon gear, and near enough to put one in cosigner land. Makes the gun safe seem inexpensive.

1= EOS 70D oldest and a 1.6 crop sensor wearing an 18 to 55 mm lens for the typical landscape/camp shots.
2= EOS 5D that I think is 1.4 crop sensor wearing a 100-400 mm lens. With the crop sensor its the equivalent of a 140 to 560 mm
3= EOS 7D which I believe is full frame and its wearing a Canon 500mm prime.

The 100-400 is her mainstay, and the 500 big gun is for reaching out.

Great shots, as always. Something I learned about mule deer, for every stud, there are tons of spindly little guys.
