Semo, that is an excellent shot.  And kudos for going the extra mile to dive and capture something like this.
 
G, that is very cool. Many don't have opportunities to see stuff like this very often. Great contribution for the contest.

Yeah I think twins are pretty rare in whitetail around here.  I'm hoping I can keep the foxes and yotes at bay by hunting at least once or twice a week and thinning them out more.   I got one last Thursday that was the biggest to date, estimated him about 30lbs.

G, you should shoot it with a camera, then just shoot it. The coyote and fox that is.
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

Was fishing the Big Horn River in MT, last weekend. I took the dog and camera with me. While letting the dog run a bit, we scared this one up. No special settings or editing. Just glad I was able to snap the shot.

G, that's a pretty skinny male.
