Let it Snow!

Mon, February 27, 2012

With the seemingly endless parade of snow geese, I couldn’t resist the temptation to try some impressionistic images from within a large group of snows!  Does anyone recall ever seeing this many geese or has all of the habitat restoration along the Illinois River…Emiquon preserve for example…been a contributing factor in the huge numbers!!??

Another Photo Essay of a Giant

Wed, January 04, 2012

I was given premission to post some incredible trail pics of a world class whitetail that I was able to capture this year!  As far as I know he is still alive and well!  Any thoughts on gross score…my guess is knocking on 200 if not right at 200!?

Photo essay…225 inch IL giant

Fri, December 23, 2011

I love nothing more than photographing wildlife…esp. big whitetails!  It doesn’t matter if its my DSLR with a big lens or a small trail camera!  Like most of you, I get very excited when I get to check my trail cameras..almost like Christmas morning all year long!

A good friend had asked if I would do a “census” of the deer on his farm earlier this fall and I jumped at the chance to see what was running around his west central IL property!  What I captured was a lot more than I expected…a true world class whitetal..best of all he’s a real poser for the camera!

Out of respect for his privacy, I must keep his face and the location obscure…we all know what happens when a farm gets TOO much unwanted attention when a deer like this goes down!
