2010 Pronghorn pics

I will have to see if I can find the official measurements a local official wanted to measure him so I let him but never put him in the books. When I shot him both the base and c1 were over 7 4/8. He is a relly cool buck, deffiantly got the old ticker going when I saw him.
 
I just got me a new toy to try in New Mexico. Is there any secrets to getting good pictures with the minox dcm? I hope to post some pics by Saturday.
 
I took mine out yesterday, but haven't downloaded the photos yet. I would suggest using the remote shutter release to avoid vibration.
 
The remote is important I forgot mine a couple times and any little vibration is deffiantly magnified. It takes some getting used to in order to get the picture focused. Ive been shooting pics then adjusting the focus on the scope a little and shooting more trying to get the clearest pics I can. You have to love digital cameras I would be broke if I had to develope all the pics I took to see if they were any good like film. If your target moves at all the pic will be a little blurry too because the camera isnt that fast. For scouting it is pretty slick though for only an extra 150 bucks. Make sure the camera is locked up tight in the spotting scope too. Good luck on your hunt bugler i cant wait to see the pronghorn pics from NM Here is some pics of a mule deer I took this last weekend while goat scouting. I didnt range him but he was over a half mile out. I have some more scouting pics to post as soon as I get them downloaded. Later

Its amazing the amount of whitetail that are moving into the sandhills busted these out of a draw. He never gave me a good shot though.

Didnt get very many pronghorn pics they were mainly in the middle of wheat fields and the heat waves had came up so bad the pics werent turning out.
These 2 were with the dcm.

Tues August 17th

It rained hard last night, reports of up to 2 1/2 inches in less than an hour. Kind of makes for alot of water holes to choose from. Here is a picture out my backdoor.

Nothing worth showing on here. I took a few at work, just to start figuring it out. Hope to get out and try it on some animals soon.
 
I deffiantly got to get some remote batteries, mine must of gotten the button pushed and didnt have any juice when I needed it sunday. Makes a big difference. Cant wait to see what bugler brings back on his.
