The picture screems IOWA...very neat.
Iowabow,
I was using my Nikon 180 2.8 lens.
ISO 800
Aperture priority at 5.6
Most of the time I use my Nikon 50 1.4 lens, but didn't have it that day.
A really good lens makes a big difference over a camera.
the 180 is a good lens to use when the deer arent really close to the blind yet.They do notice the camera noise, so usually I only take pictures of the smaller dumber deer that are up close to the blind.

Thanks for the info Jack,
The 70-300 is great glass but doesn't have the lowest AP 4-5.6 but if you're making 5.6 work i guess it should work ok.
Also have a 50/1.8 and a 17-55 2.8. When i'm hunting the blind i think i'll start bringing them along, your pics always look great thanks again.

Iowabow,
I usually set the camera at 5.6 when I first get into the blind, mainly for the depth of field. Once the sun goes down or if it a cloudy day, I have the lens set wide open (2.8) for the 180 mm or (1.4) for the 50 mm to get the fastest possible shutter speed.
I always try to focus on the deers eye using the spot meter. You get the eyes sharp and the picture will look good.
another thing I did was get a piece of lath. I hook the window mount to it and brace that against the wheelchair when taking pictures. For some of the slower shutter speeds it make for allot more keepers.
