Here is the picture of a buck I shot shortly after taking a couple of picture of him. I got lucky because the doe he was tending kept circling back around to me. I took it with a Olympus 400 digital camera. The picture is blurred but I tried to fix it the best I could. He was about 75 yards out when I took the picture. I asked santa to get me a better one for Christmas, hopefully I have been good enough this year.

WHO, similar to what was already mentioned, I have an Olympus C-750. It has a phenomenal zoom, although it's a little bulkier than others. It takes GREAT pictures. This is a picture of a bald eagle I took at my cabin, from a rocking boat at 15-20 yards away. Anyway, I would look online, I bought mine at www.buydig.com at a great price, warranty and all. I've yet to take it out hunting with me though.

I got a picture like that but mine was not as sharp. I got this picture of an eagle that was on top of a ham radio tower two streets over.

I got my camera online at http://www.jr.com and was very please with the overall process and the service. My two digital camera buying tips are the more optical zoom the better. a camera with anymore than 3-4X digital zoom will be grainy. Also try to get a camera that takes lithium batteries. Lithium batteries last 10X longer wile only costing 4X times more. I took over 1000 photos on my first set of lithium batteries.

I think you should post this picture everytime someone is complaining about not seeing/killing any deer during their hunt. This gives the perspective that there is more to hunting then killing every day in the woods.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.... You guys and your high tech digital cameras....

I bring my old, trusty, Canon A-1 35mm SLR in the woods right before the season and snap photos of deer signs, tracks, and the general outlying area of where I want to hunt. Camera bag and assorted lenses, filters, and misc gear is either in the truck, or in a small fanny pack, should I need it.

I never go out without my camera.

Here's a picture taken last Saturday from my blind. These two blackbuck antelope were out about 450 yards. The picture was taken with a Digital SLR and a 200 mm zoom lense. When I took the picture I didn't see that the blackbuck on the right was taking a whiz nor did I notice the russian boar that was out beyond the antelope.
