I just collected 16 game trail Camera SD cards (took hours) and downloaded a BUNCH of really interesting captures this evening. . Here this Buck Spies the Camera in a moment of curiousity but gave in to thirst regardless to get some of the tap water we provide for them. That’s actually a pretty good high pressure jet which keeps the tank open even in pretty durn cold weather. Approaching a noisy/splashy tank is new to some deer. Familiarity to running water up here on a dry land ranch is rare. They get skiddish. This is pipeline fed from our main well. It runs all year.
Now regarding this Little buck lolol. He survived hunting season up here somehow. He’s going to be interesting next year for sure… I have dozens of captures of his antics chasing the does around. He had many captures, and this is the closest. Game Grail Cameras CAN do wonderful work IF you point the correctly. I JUST got his antlers into this capture lolol. Maybe next time I’ll have it so it doesn’t cut off his butt … The sun light was just perfect for the exposure here. In other words, I got REALLY lucky with this capture blue sky and all. 😀
I call this a 5×7 point buck or a 12 point. I consider any antler point you can hang a ring on as a “counter”. Those brow times are actually quite large. The big brown eye in this image is beyond what I expect from Game Trail Cameras. This is amazing for the technology . I had to do VERY little to this in the digital Darkroom which is really novel from my point of view. Typically, Game Trail Camera images take LOTS of work to make them into a properly finished image. This one not so much.📷
