shots from last fall

[Rock Chuck]

Here are a couple shots that I took last fall. The first is a chukar that showed up in our yard. We have lots of chukars in the hills, but I suspect that this one escaped from someone's pen. You normally don't get this close to one. They're very spooky.

The 2d is where I was elk hunting last fall. It's about 15 miles from Sun Valley, ID. There's some really nice country up there.

Great pics,Dick.I love that second shot.How much snow was on then?

[Rock Chuck]

There was only about 6" where I was, maybe a foot on top. This was a fast moving fall storm and much of it was gone a couple days later.

Those are some nice looking pictures. I hope someday to share some of my own pictures, once I get the hang of taking pictures with my Minolta 7000AF 35mm. I am just getting into photography, but of course I start out on the bottom end. No digital, well, I do have one of those 20.00 digitals, but it doesn't take the best pictures.

Rock, are you back packing that hunt ? Horse back pack in? Beautifull !

[Rock Chuck]

Actually, this isn't that far from a road. We hiked less than an hour to get to where I took this. It was a vertical hour, though, and the rocks were slicker than snot on a doorknob.

What I prefer:


What I've got:


These are uninsulated and very heavy duty. They're good down to maybe 20F. Below that or if the snow is more than a few inches, I wear Cabelas Guide boots.
