Willard & I encountered this magnificent whitetail early Saturday morning in a small opening near Spitler Knoll.
The buck was standing under a small tree with his doe only a few yards away. With the low light levels and my slow 100-400mm lens; I shot this image at ISO 800 with a 1/25th second shutter speed. Within two minutes of getting the tripod set up the doe left the meadow and the buck followed.
This is the largest Whitetail Buck I have ever photographed. Now if only I can catch him on another occasion in good photographic light.

Really impressive image for 1/25!
WOW! Big buck indeed. Is he an 8 or 9 point?
Tina,
I would call him a 9 pt. He has a basic 8pt frame with one sticker on his left g-2.
Thanks,
Salty
