Hunting with Mike

Well we are finally back from our up-north vacation, and look who was ready to greet me, once I entered Monroe county.  I was still about 10 miles from my house when I saw this nice buck standing in a soybean field.  It was about 150 yards away, but my camera was handy, and it has a telephoto lens.  I stopped right in the country road, and hoped the deer would hold still long enough for a coupe good shots.  My wife kept telling me I was blocking traffic, and I responded that “They can go around me!”  The buck posed like a statue, as it seemed to turn it’s head, and look right at us.  My “non hunting wife” said “That can’t be a real deer, cause it wouldn’t stand there that long!”  I zoomed in as much as I could without “blurring” the focus on the camera.  I thought I got a good picture, but couldn’t really tell, as I only have an 1-1/2 viewing area on my Kodak camera.

We left that nice buck , still standing among the beans, as I headed home to transfer this “buck” to my computer!  As you can probably tell from the enhanced photo my “non-hunting” wife was right.  “I swear I saw his head move!”  Someone; somewhere was getting a good laugh at my expense.  Besides any hunter, worth his salt, knows that the deers antlers are in velvet at this time of year, but at that distance they looked “fuzzy” to me.  The comedian that “set me up” wasn’t the only one laughing, as my wife got quite a chuckle out of it herself.
