Hunting and filming of course. We finally got some cool weather that moved in, so I'm crossing me fingers that we see some good buck action. If nothing else, perhaps I'll stick another doe on film. I figure sooner or later if I shoot enough of them, a buck has to come by and give me a shot. After all, if you can do it, anyone can.

As for the camera - now that I've gone Digital SLR I don't think I'll ever go back to a simple point and shoot camera. You can do some amazing things with these cameras. I already find myself wanting more and better lenses, and I even contemplated stepping up to a D80, but that's getting a little too big to carry around in my pack. The D40 is the perfect size, and gives you great photography with a little bit of know-how.

Fraley - we were in Pike County, IL. Mike should be doing some hunting in WI this week, but I think if he can't connect with a doe soon, he's going to pull up stakes and focus on IL during the rut.

Frank - good luck in Montana. I expect you to slay another beast!

Here's a few more photos from our trip
