Rattled in Blacktails

I spend alot of time photographing Blacktails during the rut. Started rattling them in back in about 1985 to both my camera and bow. These pics were taken with my old Nikon 35mm gear.

Nice pictures! :thumb What Nikon equip were you using? Soon as the weather get better here I'm going out with some film gear and see what I can find. I like my film cameras.

Don...I was using my F3 body and 400mm f3.5 lens. I still have some Fujichrome Provia 400F to use up before it gets too old.

Here's a couple more pics. I took these with a Nikon D70s and 80-400 AF VR lens. The first buck was in my yard tailgating a doe, didn't have to rattle him in.

Boy thise are nice photo's! Used to love that provia. All I have for film anymore is 35mm B/W, 120 B/W and a few rolls of 120 Velvia 100. Love the backgrounds in them. We don't have them like that here. Sagebrush and grass fields.
