Awesome pics, man you have talent. Not a shooter in the bunch.
I had him at my blind twice last fall. both times under 10 yds.
First time I was reaching for the camera and the strap tapped the camera case. for some strange reason he didn't like the noise.
a week later he was back. I had the bow in my hands this time. he had 2 more steps to go when I heard a dull thud. I thought it was the handle for my wheelchair that slid off my bag and hit the floor. it wasn't. it was a limb that fell on the ramp to the blind.
I saw him 5 times last fall and hopefully I will get some close up pictures of him at the blind. I already decided I wasn't going to shoot him if he comes by. plenty of does out there for me and bucks for the camera, unless it is a booner, which I haven't seen out there yet since I started hunting the field 5 years ago.

ScottIC,
I was using my Nikon D50 with the Tamron 300 2.8 lens. That lens is an old manual lens I bought close to 20 years ago for my Canon FTb.
With that lens there is no metering, so before I hit the gravel I take a picture check the lighting and set the metering accordingly.
Most of the time with my other lenses I use aperture priority.
when driving around I usually have the lens set on f4 and the speed around 1/1000 depending on light. most of the time I am way below 1/1000
the buck crossed the road about 60 yds from me, I have the picture cropped quite a bit. I also set the ISO to 800 instead of 200, which I usually keep it at. That gave me 2 clicks faster on the shutter speed and I have a program which takes out allot of the noise (grain).
