Thread: Pictures of live Game Animals..

There used to be a thread on the other forum with pictures of live game animals which had some great pics. I searched for a similar one here and couldn't find one so thought I'd start one (if there is an existing one - can someone point me in the right direction)

I haven't bothered really trying with the camera before but of late (particularly when the freezer is full), I've been trying to take pictures rather than get something on the ground, and I've found that it's just as challenging, if not more, trying to get a good pic than actually shooting one.

I'll start off with a young Sambar stag that was out enjoying the afternoon sun on a cold afternoon.

Roe doe and her two fawns.

We had six baby rabbits hanging out down the end of the drive so I set up the game camera on the fence next to the burrow entrance. It's just a cheap cam from the 1-day website but the quality of the photos and video was pretty good, but that's at a range of about 2m.
The black rabbit is Dad I think, and he actually had his tongue sticking out for 1 shot.
The cat is ours, a feral kitten from work I brought home about 3 years ago.

Young buck.

I cranked up the old desktop today, here are some photos from a (non-hunting) trip to North America 15 years ago.
All animals are wild and free range, lots of photos but they are only 40-50kb each so hopefully load quickly.
