I think they figure I needed a year off with the Remington, but they sure have been kind when I have the Nikon!

VERY NICE!!! You should try to sell some of the shots you get to Field and Stream, Realtree, etc... They look for great pics like this all the time!!!

Sadly, most aspiring photographers give away images to get their image printed so the market is pretty dead unless you are into giving away your work. Its not just wildlife, its the nature of the beast in most markets. I do sell quite a few to private folks who want images for their den or rec rooms etc.

Thie first pic full size is a home run...one of my best images. Its a scene 99.9% of hunters have seen countless times...I just wish his rack was huge haha!

I wish I could shoot photo's like that. That's unreal. I let quite a few doe walk. They still needed some growing up. Then again with my graduation and finals being the during rifle season, I only made it out twice. Not to fear, second season muzzleloader will be here! I really want to get one with the bow though. Anyone can harvest a deer with a rifle, but I just had terrible luck with the bow. Hit two and never found them. I was ranged two massive bucks, I counted 11 points on the one and the other was bigger, too bad they were 70 some yards away. Saw lots of dear in archery, just nothing close enough worth shooting.

Today wasnt a good day, the snow had a slight crust and I couldnt move quietly at all.

I was decked out in full white camo today. It helped a lot as the deer that heard me would pause as they took that extra second to figure out what and where I was.

This one ticked me off. I waited for about 30 minutes watching a few feed my way. They were walking then the wind swirled or something got them worked up, so I settled on an opening and missed thanks to that limb and leaves obstructing her head:grr: :p

If my timing had been just a split second sooner....
