Some pics of antelope, deer, and elk

[stalkincoues]

We went up north last weekend to scout some area for Elk. Took my camera and was able to get some pics of a few animals. Not all of them wanted their pics taken. Had to put a stalk or run after a few to get these. I am new to photography but trying. I wish more animals were willing to cooperate for the camera

 

Antelope in the pines, she looks like she is about ready to pop.

Nice Pics. Those antelope look like they're ready to drop fawns any day now.

We all need to get out there and whack some coyotes to help them out.

 

Thanks for sharing.

We were at the descent around 6:30 pm last Friday. We were in a red Toyo 4-runner. A white truck pulled in front of us at the pull off as we were pulling out. It would be funny if it was you. I was in the back seat with my lens hanging out.

Hey Loco, thank you. It took a lot of work to just get these few pics. I am currently shooting with a Nikon D200, the animal pics were taken with a 70-300mmVR nikon lens (higher zoom in unpredictable situations).

 

Starting out I wouldn't reccomend anything more than a D-40, 60, 80, or even the new 90. Anything more, definitely not starting out user friendly. You can get a pretty good used one on craigslist usually for a good price, compared to a new price. Make sure to spend more money on glass if you can!

Thanks stalkin for the info! I have kind of looked at the Nikons, but I have always had canon point and shoots, I was looking at one from the Canon Rebel series, XT,XTI, or XSI. Thanks again for sharing the pics.
