My wife asked me this morning why I wasn't going to work and I said, "I'm walking down to my hide to see if I can get a Steve Canuel style shot, Missouri style. A nice 8-pointer came out to the edge of the field and started tearing up a tree and then moved quickly along the brush. I let out a grunt, a lame one from my own throat, but he stopped for a moment, looked at me, then quickly faded away. I got a shot but it was still pretty dark. I cleaned it up as best I could in LR II. It would have been nice to be able to stop down a bit and employ Artie's long lens technique at 1/30 but there was no time. I wanted to share this photo because I rarely see big game from Missouri on BPN. Thanks.
