I had the privilege of shooing a truly majestic beast… and a few of his buddies in digital format! Until a few weeks ago, all my hunting has been done with a gun in hand… but most recently I discovered that hunting with my Nikon D90 can be just as rewarding. While in Lemoore, CA for the purpose of inspecting the Naval Aviation Commands in the area… I had the opportunity too make a trip to Yosemite National Park for a little R&R over the weekend. The weather wasn’t optimal for typical landscape shots of this truly amazing place… Wanting to make the most of the time I had, I decided to wander off into the woods and see if I could capture some wildlife in the natural habitat… I was blessed with the sighting and cooperation of a trophy class Blacktail buck. I was able to shoot over 100 photos of 5 different buck and several doe with yearlings Sunday evening. I missed the Super Bowl, but was blessed with truly a once in a lifetime experience. BTW another photographer at the park in the immediate area heard of my experience and ventured into the woods… Shortly thereafter he was running back out of the woods screaming like a banshee with a buck not far behind… unfortunately for him, he never got a single shot off. Link to some of my Photo’s of the buck: |

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.
Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow Now the rules have changed again. |

It isn't always about the trophy on the wall, or the meat in the freezer. Most of us hunters are outdoor enthusiasts just seeing something so majestic and getting proof of that is a tremendous joy, a memory that we take with us everywhere we travel.
