1/60 at 500mm.....that is pretty impressive. Tripod? Great symetry on the horns, even the odd shaped brow tines. Nice shot.

A sharp image off hand-held at 1/60 at 750mm is not luck.

That is a very cool pic. Hobbydog, those browtines you mentioned were the first thing I noticed about that deer. What a unique rack, making the picture and indeed the deer all the more cool!!!

LOL- (Laughing out loud) this photo painfully reminds me of a big buck who charged me right after i took a similar photo such as this one- i was in a brush blind not 50 yards away and the buck had spotted me- and before i could cover my camera and turn to run he was on me- a grove of trees saved me from any serious damage but not before he was able to put a hole in my "gettyup"- i've experienced several such aggressive moves by rutting bucks but with most being feints or bluffs- but every now and then you find out just how fast you are as sheer raw panic becomes a big motivator- LOL
