I'll be adding a bunch of photos here as the summer progresses of 'shots' I get.

Hope you enjoy!

First off, who say's there isn't any whitetail in Utah? :) Check out this first guy.

Same buck as I've posted photos of before this summer. I like the lighting on this shot.

He'll have extras on both sides.

Lead buck is a "slug" meaning BIG. Back one is no slouch either (4x5)

Great photos!!!! Slug is huge but it is hard to judge how wide he is cause his ears are pinned back. I'll say his 31" though :thumb

Great pics. Slug is a slugger for sure. Love the the depth of field on that 3 point in the road. Great light as well. You've become quite the photographer!

Nice post, I REALLY need to start scouting out a new area... I never see this many bucks together where we hunt.

Holy Smokes!!! Those are some great bucks! I would say the SLUG is 32 outside. I overguess on average about 2 inches, so probably 30".

Either way, those are some great shots!

I figured slug to be 32" inches wide.

Here is one from yesterday. Up close and personal.

I know the quality isn't there, here is "slug" pulled from video.

Another...

Slug would look really nice with some drywall behind him. LOL
Great pictures..... giving me the itch to go scouting.

How much bigger to do think he will get? How far away were you when you took the pictures?

My guess is 32"-33" for his outside spread. Do you think he will stay in the same area, is this his core area?

keep em' coming!

Video him from several hundred yards on 40x Optical. He moves from private to public, stays in same area for the most part. He is still growing on his top end.

Here is another pulled from video, public land. 28" or so 4-point. Pretty buck, not good forks but he looks nice looking at you from a distance.

He does look impressive looking at you but your right it looks like he has very weak forks. He sure looks healthy though! :thumb

Some more bucks, it's that time of year. I've put in tons of miles/hours on foot and in the truck. Wish gas was cheaper, but man I've had some good times. :)

Enjoy!

Sweet pics love them. If I'm not mistaken the buck with the bad fronts and extras in the back was photographed last year by someone (JDH?) on the winter range. Super sweet.

Brett, what camera slash lens are you using? you are getting some nice photos. you must have a nicesetup. good job!

I use a Canon Digital Rebel XT with a Canon 300 mm L series lens and a 1.4 Canon Extender on that. 420 mm reach.

Just upgraded my camera today however to the Canon 40D, so the next photos I get will/should be with the new camera.

Great pictures! It wigs me out seeing the country that your deer live in compared to the country they inhabit here. Its amazing the range of areas they survive in.
