I thought some nice fall pics would be cool to look at. I know there should be some very nice images to post by some folks. Just a couple I took when home last week.

Roger, that is a great picture where your buck has the curled lip! Thanks for sharing.
 
Thanks Johhny B. That is my fav pic also. Wish I would have had more time that day to try and get more nice pics with those trees changing colors. It was really beautiful that day. I doubt it will look like that when I am home again :(


Thanks MKwitowski.



I wish other people would post some pics from fall. That is when bucks do some neat stuff like the lip curl.
 
Your pics are awesome Rodger. I have a few stocker photos in hard antler, nothing really big yet. I need to get some hard antler pics of my breeders here soon, incase they snap points off while rubbing.

I am guessing that the 3rd picture in the top row is of an Updraft 2 year old and the second one in the top row is out of an Updraft doe.

The first 2 pics are the same buck and he is a Shadow Man son out of an Updraft daughter.


The 3rd and 4th pic is the same buck and is an Updraft son.


The 5th pic is a Lucky Ranger son.


The 6th pic is an Updraft son.


The 7th pic is an Electric Storm son.


 


They have all been sold as stockers except I kept the first buck ( Ruben ) to use as a breeder for some of my does. He has been estimated to score 225" @ 2. He is bottle fed so I won't sell him as a stocker, so I decided to keep him and give him a shot at proving his breeder value to produce quality stocker bucks for me. Plus I like his pedigree. His sire Shadow Man who I have kept so far as well is doing some breeding also this year. Shadow Man and Updraft share the same maternal grandma. ( Y-0289 ) Jonathan, if you look at the pedigree I think you will like the Patrick influence that is in the bottom side.

I recognized those two in particular from a couple of pictures posted by Josh that came across his radar a while back. The 3rd one is my favorite by appearance. All are very nice 2year olds.

Thanks for posting the pedigree. Both Tomahawk and his sister have produced nice offspring. In my opinion Storm Express is the nicest mature Express son out there and he is out of Tomahawks sister. Blitzen's sis is the anchor doe. She throws a few extras.
 
Your leaves are barely changing. I am anxious to see how many leaves are still on the trees when I get home next week.
 
Ok I got to post some more, Rodger you made me get an itch to get more hard antler photos. So since it was so beautiful outside today so I took my camera for some hard antler/ fall scenery pics.
