Deer herd pictures - Jan14
 

I went back to my main hunting grounds today to check on the winter herd and see if anything had dropped yet. I wasn't able to get close enough to the herd for any good pictures so I had to use digital zoom for most of the pictures which is why they aren't clear.

I wasn't expecting to see any bucks dropping antlers for another month or 2 so I was really suprised when I saw a decent buck get up with only 1 antler. I searched the area for a bit but never did find the antler, probably because of the amount of snow(not much but enough to maybe bury a smaller antler). This is what the area looked like that I was searching:



This is a picture of a small portion of the herd:



I wasn't able to get anywheres close to the big bucks so this is the biggest one that I have pictures of. I probably saw 4 or 5 bucks bigger then him but he's still a pretty decent buck, especially for a 4x4. Any guesses on a score?





Here's a couple of other bucks I saw(in total i probably saw close to 60 bucks today, whitetails and mulies):







A couple of sharptail grouse on fence posts:

Awesome pics!
Sturdy looking deer. I really like that cocky looking one that looks like he just stopped, looked at you and istrying to figure out if it its you or him that should be afraid.

great pics man, ever heard the phrase "like looking for a needle in a haystack"[:-],i have never hunted sheds in the snow but it would seem to me you would be better off with a complete blanket of snow, from the looks of things you shouldn't have any trouble findin horns later;), again great pics, reminds me of the area i hunted on the sask/manitoba border, right outside of russel manitoba
