Backyard Blacktails

I caught a beautiful 4x4 on film in the neighbour's yard last night. The first 10 pics didn't turn out, because my card had popped out, and I missed a whole bunch of 4 to 6 ft away pictures. I snuck up along my 6' fence, in my socking feet, as he ate the neighbour's flowers and bushes on the other side. Kick myself for not getting those pictures.

I did manage to get these when he was on the other side of the yard, after fixing my card problem.

He's going to be nice, come fall.

This fella lays in the same spot almost every day

...Steve...-these pictures are incredible!....-hard to believe you were even closer than this- ( I know you were, though-:))

-yes, it was a bummer that the card popped out on those earlier, closer pics...-but these are awesome...a lot closer and clearer than I thought they would be....

-my favorite is the buck standing up on that flatbed trailer..

-...and you never know....maybe your neighbor got some pics of you making the stalk, in your stocking feet.....:D;)

...great pictures, Steve!

cool pics Steve!! Isn't it amazing how close we are allowed sneak to them during the off season but come season it all changes..:rolleyes::D:D

Yes, it sure is. It's makes you wonder if they can sense some sort of invisible chemistry, going on. :rolleyes: Of course, the breeze was just perfect last night too, and the socking feet sure helped. Maybe I should dig out my old, elk hide, mukluks for hunting this season. They are nice and quiet.:)
