The moment you realize you have small deer in your area when 1 side of a bucks rack is bigger than most racks we see.... Nice buck man. Congrats.

I got my first mule deer this year in Idaho, and a herd of 40 elk decided to watch the show (top right corner).

Every year I set a goal to top my best buck, while this isn't my highest scoring buck hes without a doubt the oldest buck I've had the opportunity at and couldn't be happier with him!

This photo is of my son and his first deer. The two men are his grandpas, and with me that's 3 generations and 2 famlies of hunters.

I'll throw my name in with this Wyoming buck. Super happy to have gotten him after hunting 20 days - many of which with a stick and string. My best buck to date by quite a ways.

2020 Idaho. Pretty happy with him considering haven't had much time between and 8 month deployment and getting ready to head back out the door. It was my last day to hunt this season. Not the best photo. But 45mph winds kept me from getting my good camera out.

That's a dam good photo. That one wins. Obviously better than a cell phone camera. 2 years and a row I've used the dumb cell phone. Your photo inspires me to ditch the dam cell phone! Great photo, and beautiful buck. If you took this with a cell phone...I take it all back! haha JK.

Hahahaha it’s easy, this was shot with an A6000 and a pretty “cheap” sigma lense. These new cell phones are great but honestly that little camera body kicks ass for hunting photos for the average guy. I think right now you could pick up my same setup for less than $500 and use whatever Tripod you’re already using. It’s small enough it rides in my medium belt pouch, battery life is miserable though.

Then that's what I'm going to do. I didn't kill giants these last two years. That said, they were respectable, but my photos didn't do them any justice in the little friendly competition. I feel like a photo like yours really encapsulates the majesty of these animals we love. Again, this photo should win. And I have a camera to get. Maybe before my rut hunt in a few weeks! Best of luck to you bud.

They are so worth investing in and packing around, last year the one and only day I didnt pack my nice dslr (crap weather and didnt think we'd see anything) I shot my best buck to date, still very irritated all I have is cellphone pics of him and not some good high quality photos. To be honest I wouldn't of cared if the blizzard would of ruined the camera taking pics as long as I had some good pics of him haha

I completely understand. And after seeing the quality Dkime's photo, I can't put it off any longer. Besides, what's the point of all my fancy Kifaru pockets if I ain't using them. Ha-ha.

That A6000 is sweet and on the list for gear upgrades next year. My buddy has one and takes awesome pics and pretty compact, still rocking my old nikon 3100, takes the guide lid to fit it in the pack haha
