Featuring Bill Kinney’s Exclusive Deer Movement Guide:

Have you ever hefted a 500mm Nikon lens? How about when it was on a tripod, with a Nikon D500 attached to it? Have you done that with your Kenetrec’s, Goretex, wool and rain gear on? You don’t know what you are missing! Throw a backpack on your shoulders filled with water, sandwiches, snacks, a saw, toolbox, thermos of coffee, stool, extra lenses/bodies, spare batteries, gps and your 10 x 42’s strapped to your chest and take off for miles…… just to get deer pictures. If you try it, just know, you’ll wonder if you’re a tad crazy. 

Yep, you probably are, especially when it’s dark-thirty and pummeling you with heavy wet snow. Yep, maybe more than a tad….. 

On top of all that, throw on a cervical neck brace because you had spinal fusion surgery a few months before. That is the kind of crazy time I had to get these photos! 

Oh, it was tough!!! Was it CRAZY….? Yes!!!! Was it worth it? I think so, but you can be the judge. If these bucks make you a tad bit shaky, you are probably that tad bit crazy too! Please, tell me these bucks were worth it.

Caught in the act of being super cool giants, they were just going about their business, until I nailed them with the Nikons. These monster whitetails leave nothing to be desired. If you want to see awesomeness, here it is.

As every buck’s rack is like your fingerprints, each is unique, and oh so cool to look at. Every one distinctive in his own right, with his own distinct personality (usually flighty) wait until you see these fantastic rutting bucks!
