Those are some beautiful bucks and an awesome picture of them. Such a shame that hunting is not allowed. I wonder what type of strings you would have to pull to get permission.

Nice bucks but, wonderfull pictures!

I've been told that quite a few guys have offered good money to the landowner for permission to hunt the land but he continually turns them away. A couple years ago the local paper did an interview with the landowner and he said that he is not an anti-hunter.However with the surrounding community being a rural neighborhood he views the property as a safe haven or sanctuary for the deer.

One thing that I've notice over the past few years is that the herd is continually getting bigger. Since the area is fenced in I do not believe there are any coyotes on the land. So pretty much the only way they might die off would be jumping the fence and getting hit by a car or from natural causes or disease. Sooner or later the herd size is going to be too big and the property won't be able to hold them. I've already started looking at some aerial photos trying to find some pockets of land in the outlying areas that may be huntable.

By the way, I'm still waiting to hear back from the guy that took the pictures about posting the higher resolution versions. I felt it was best to first get his permission before I put them on the web.

Very nice in a couple mor years they will be bruisers themselves.

great picture

Awesome... that's one of the prettiest pics I've seen in a long time.

Sweet pic Jeremey. We have a county park that you can drive through that has the same type of animals. It's fenced in and the have buffalo, elk and some huge whitetail. It's cool to view such impressive creatures up close.

I could never work

I really like photos of deer that are caught in mid-chew with their eyes closed. It looks like they are laughing their rumps off. Looks like a hearty chuckle....like "HO HO HO"
