Wow...just wow.

Those bucks will be big bucks some day.

Awesome Pics!

There are some heart stoppers in there

A few more......

Wow

That one buck sure reminds me of Heart Attack. The second photo of him is one of the best whitetail photographs I’ve ever seen. You’re giving Mike Biggs a run for his money.

I see three that shouldn’t be standing... need to get to hunting and put camera down

So you can tell what happened from these pics?

Well good news is you still got it


Well played

Great photos. Looks like hunters heaven.

Wow - those some bruisers!

AWESOME!

Great pics; some of them boys have got antlers all over their heads!!

Awesome shots as always

Beautiful bucks and fantastic pics as always!
Looks like you have some good friends!
Was your trigger finger itching on a few of those bad boys?

Fantastic pics as always!
Lots of unique character on several of those and it's good to see some green plots too.

Fantastic pics.

Do you need someone to carry your camera and accessories around?

Awesome pictures as usual This would be very close to my ultimate dream buck

Beautiful pictures as always Sir, thanks for sharing!

Awesome stuff. Those pastures look pretty dang impressive too.

Bingo.

Truly amazing Deer and photography. And what really impresses me is not a ear tag to be seen.

Very impressive, just the pictures will give a person buck fever.

Thanks everyone...I like taking pics of deer.

That does it, I'm feeding peanuts.

"High fence, low fence, over the fence, no-a-fence, all about d-fence...
pappy

Legal tis legal, we got HF just down the road, need go take some pic's & post...
illegal ta shoot...

on the pic's... Used ta carry a cheap canon with SD card on me hunts...
not near the quality of pic's..
Archery like ta take pic's, outa bow range, if they get in range, like ya'll, up ta shooter...
Remember as a kid riding in back seat behind dad, could remove a tin plate laid down
over hole on floorboard, & watch the road speed by, & watchen for deer,
pheasants & such on the long trips ta grandparents & aunts & uncles...
Each deer tis a Trophy...
Again Thanks for sharing..

better let me come clean out all those inferior bucks. i won't even charge you.

places were those pic's were taken, they usualy send a guide whisperer that tells ya what is inferior & what is trophy...
They need ta eat too..

now the 🐗 hog problem ? That's a different thread...

Excellent pictures of amazing animals... as usual.

These are the most efficient killers of the avian world I’ve ever seen. Devastating to quail, but you have to admire their tactics and abilities.

what type bird tis that ?

Outstanding photos and like Don said, not a ear tag to be seen.

I don’t know the technical name. We call them sharpshins... to see them stalk, flush, and ambush a quail is impressive!

The “hunt” is as follows:
- fly from tall object to tall object, using each as a “tower blind”
- spot the covey
- GLIDE from tall object to a low branch on the closest tree to the covey
- wait for the right opportunity, then let out 3-5 high-pitched screams to flush the covey
- once the covey flushes, pick a bird and follow it until it sets its wings for landing
- the sharpshin will either get them on final descent, or just as they hit the ground.

I have never seen one miss once they make it to the screaming stage. They are CRAZY efficient!!!

I
I thought it looked more like a Kestrel.

That is what I thought Don

It’s a Kestrel.

Sharp-shins are a completely different raptor, though they do look similar.

Cant find the words to describe. Those are some of the best looking bucks I have ever seen and the photography as well. Super impressed.
Thanks for sharing.

Sharp is meaner though. They are off the coopers hawk chain of Accipiters

That is a Kestrel and the first one I have had a chance to photograph. They are very small...dove size small. I believe they are one of or if not the smallest falcons. They mainly feed on insects, small rodents and small birds. Never seen one catch or eat a quail. I have seen Cooper's Hawk(we called them Blue Darters) and Merlins catch and eat quail, doves and even Cardinals.

Awesome pics!

A few more.....

So cool!

That is awesome Stx

I believe I'm in love!

Excellent Photos
