Scouting is a year round process, but the summer is a great time of year for taking photos. On my drive around town the other night I brought my DSLR along with my video camera and took a few still frames.
The deer weren't too afraid to let us get fairly close and my Canon 70-300mm lens let me reach out and bring the deer close.
I had a chance to photograph this buck several times, but was anxious to put the DSLR down and pick up the video camera so I only took a few pictures. The ISO setting was set pretty high because of the low light conditions so the colors aren't great, but his rack sure is for a young one.
This buck would be hard to pass up this year, but he was with a much larger 8. Unfortunately, I didn't get pictures of the larger deer, only video. This 8 pointer had a split G2. Next year he'll be a dandy.
Great shots, and I'm just going to be honest - if any of those bucks come with in range, they would be fair game. It has been too long since I've put a buck on the ground.
