Yeah I've been doing that for years, the self timer trick. It works well

Yeah I need a tripod. Distance shots are even harder to focus, especially when there is grass/something else in the foreground.

Great pics and a nice Fallow head to top it off with.

Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond my control we had an absolutely shocker of a roar with no sign where there always has in the past 11yrs and not a roar to be heard
I will not be posting any pics.

However some great memories makers in the last few pages

I agree regarding hunting comps.
Hate them with a passion. Full of cheats that have lost all respect for the animals.
Hunting is not and should never be a competition.
Fosters stupid bravado ethics in the younger generation imo, as well.

Kids varmint comps I like as it gets kids involved early and a few pesties cleaned up for farmers.

I totally agree!!

Those black antlers are cool JoshC awesome beast.

Thanks @Tahr, contribute away! As I'm sure you know I have a lot of respect for you and am glad to have your continuing support and help.

Honestly the boys were laughing at me just being so over the moon that I has seen the deer first. I'm not a BAD spotter but I tend to hang out with people who are brilliant so never see the bambis first. So I was super chuffed to see this guy from so far away and then get to whack him over too!

I hope your comment is general though and I haven't done something specific to spark a response. I'm loving getting out there and really see every opportunity as a real privilege.

And I haven't forgotten my roots

What about it? That's how everyone does it here. I'd be more surprised to hear of someone entering public land animals to be honest with you
