Neighborhood Buck

I miss deer hunting. And deer eating.

 

I shoot enough to where we rarely if ever have to buy beef. I don't even remember the last time I bought beef other than a brisket to throw on the smoker here and there. It's been years. I got that buck back from the taxi yesterday.....66.75 lbs. Plus I have at least 1 more tag to fill. I have possibly 2 but my bonus doe expires right before gun season so I have a couple weeks to fill that one or it's gone. A lot of people hunt for the rack but I really don't. I don't shoot small deer but it has very little to do with the rack and more to do with the amount of meat they have on them. I'd be lying if I said I don't enjoy killing a big mature buck but that's not my goal every year....my goal is to stuff our freezer with as much deer meat as possible so we don't have to buy beef.

If that first pic wasn't a touch soft it would be a keeper for me. Like the last one a lot.

I haven't seen any young ones since back in the spring...

Thats my biggest problem is having a clear crisp photo. My 200mm lens was maxed out, but you would think it would still be clear. I tried auto focus and manual focus. The image isnt cropped to zoom in either. Not sure what the deal is.

Shitty pic because I wasn't expecting him to run across the road. Camera was on the passenger seat with a 70-200 so its cropped to death but you get the idea:
