Flaming the Bear

As I've mentioned before I have 3 film game camera's out and this guy is the prize so far. It's a decent whitetail and I nearly missed seeing him on the film. This photo is from a double exposure! I'm using some cheap wally world film and the stuff is jamming in the camera sporadically. This makes for bad photo's and crabby cameras! I've seen this deer on the hoof before in person and it's part of the reason the camera is where it is. The post the camera is on is right in his escape/entry path to a canola field he's feeding in. This guy is definitely one of those '160' class deer. Ironically, I'll be hunting that field for mule deer next year and NOT concentrating on whitetails. Having this walk by will be a real bonus - I'll love watching him! To me the most impressive part is the brow tines (G1's) they're nearly the same height as the first points on the main beams (G2's). This particular camera is eating 24 packs of film in about 48 hours! I can't afford to run it any longer.
