Default It's not always about the kill...some photos.

Well I went out tonight for my 12th sit of the season in hopes of whacking a doe. It didn't pan out tonight, although I had 5 of them feeding their way toward me in the clover plot, but they were spooked out by a flock of turkeys (which is odd, I didn't think they were too spooked by them). Anyways, I didn't manage a kill, but I took my "new" 30D out with me tonight to grab some photos. I thought I would share a few with you.

Part of property looking back from the road on the way to my stand.



View looking southeast from the stand. This is our clover/rye plot. That inside row you see at the bottom was redisced and planted in winter wheat, peas, and brassicas around August, but it didn't take too well. The clover and rye is doing very well, though.



Playing with DOF a little.



The 101st waiting on it's first kill. Thanks Tfox for the watch idea



Yours truly...



Slick Trick ready to go.



Overall, it was a great night, and it's been a great season so far even with no deer taken, yet.

I'd say I'll have yet ANOTHER camera headed my way, around May. I'm diving in for an SLR. I've been playing around a LOT with the one my buddy just got (Canon Rebel XLS I believe) and some filters. I like it. I'm trying to decide what I want though, I'm wanting to get something GOOD. Not like my dad's Nikon D3 .



I'll also be purchasing a telophoto lense to go along with it


I have a 10x Optical zoom Kodak right now, and I'll keep that camera, too, because it's great. I just want something extra. I take more pictures than you'd ever believe. [8D]
