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:

RE: Deer herd pictures - Jan14
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
