30 bucks an hour

[ardrhi]

Bucks started moving around 3pm and I ran out of batteries before it got dark (about 5pm). I was trying to get a photo of the biggest buck of the afternoon when the batteries went out. There was also another buck bigger than anything here that I only saw for a second before he went into some trees and never came out.
I moved from one buck to the next as fast as I could. I estimate seeing about 60 bucks in 2 hours. Its good to see this many bucks running around after the hunts are all over. Best news: this is an over-the-counter unit.

Its nice to see that you have some quality coming up for next year. That's pretty tough to find in MT anymore. Thanks for sharing.

I'd be pretty happy with several of those in our best draw units in Montana! Cool pics.

Do you need a hunting partner next year? I have lots of bullets, a wall tent with a stove and kitchen, a reliable truck with heated seats and satellite radio, and I don't fart alot unless I eat too much dairy or protein. Also, I'm reasonably fit and able to pack dead animals. I'm not above bribing with food and drink either.
I'm more than happy to work for 30 bucks an hour.
And yes I entered this country legally.

Only thing you forgot to add were the GPS coordinates for those bucks. Looks like you've got some good hunting lined up for next year!

Cool pics. I bet that was a blast to see that many in a couple hours. What camera are you using and what were the distances you took the pics at?

 

[ardrhi]

I use a Canon T3i with a 100-400 mm Canon brand lens. The lens does more work than the camera. Most photos are 100-200 yards. There were a few ranging 300-500 yards that I cropped for the post.
