Outdoors Photography

[charliebravo77]

It's been pretty quiet in here so I figured I'd post some photos from hunting and fishing trips from the past few years with my buddy and I. I am a terrible fisherman so they're going to skew heavily towards hunting and the general outdoors Some IL fishing, IL turkey hunting, NE turkey hunting, NE mule deer, AZ coues deer, AZ elk, IL squirrel, assorted hiking trips. Enjoy!

That farm shot with the hunter walking is awesome nice stuff!

[Phil6]

Great shots, really enjoyed checking them out. Was that antler coming off or is that a mutation?

[charliebravo77]

Thanks all - Phil, that deer was shedding its antler. Surprised I managed to get a shot of it since it was just barely hanging on.

[Rambler]

Absolutely killer photos. That first one really speaks to me. Guessing the muley was shot in the Sand Hills?

That's a real good guess

The first one is from this year's turkey season up in NW Illinois. Seems the gobblers didn't like getting 4 inches of snow dumped on them overnight.

[badger75]

Very nice photos. Yes, we would all enjoy any more you care to share.

[urbanHog312]

inspiration city! nice muley too.

[HEDDONFROG]

Excellent stuff!!

[charliebravo77]

Thanks all! Here's some more.

Your very gifted use of the camera and some excellent subject matter is appreciated here. Thanks for posting these.

[joetrain]

WOW really great.

[Woohoodude11]

That night sky shot is GORGEOUS.

[Rambler]

More outstanding shots. Thanks for sharing.

[charliebravo77]

Thanks all, if anyone wants me to follow them around with a camera on a fishing trip I'm always looking for new material!

[catchafew]

Beautiful pictures. We need more posts about hunting.

[charliebravo77]

Beautiful pictures. We need more posts about hunting.

Thanks! I'm heading back to CO next week to follow a buddy around on an elk hunt, so hopefully there will be a pile of new photos and stories soon!

[HEDDONFROG]

Damn I missed the middle pics. Love the Cobra interior shots. I photograph autos for a living and used to shoot at a ton of car shows as well, so I recognize a great interior shot. The rest are beautiful, thanks for sharing

Can't believe I have lived right by The Grove for 3 years without checking it out.

Agreed on the muskrat pic, looks like something out of a disney movie or planet earth doc.

Lost it at the squirrels

[charliebravo77]

There's actually a bit of a series to the squirrels:

Nailed it!

[Yankoo]

You have some great pictures, congratulations!


This picture was taken in Italy, I had a holiday there this summer in a property in lake Como here and went fishing almost every day. Really beautiful place to be and enjoy time, I loved it there.

[charliebravo77]

Finally snagged a good shot of a local buck. I think I feel good enough about this photo to finally do a limited run of prints maybe.

[badger75]

Nice!

[McChou]

This is an amazing collection of photos. Very impressive! I think picking up the camera is on my short list of things to tinker with. Keep up the good work, thanks for sharing!

[Rambler]

Outstanding shot! Puts me in mind of a 'mental' shot I took years ago.

A buddy who'd just gotten out of the Army & I were driving from the Grand Canyon to Arches in Dec. 1974. We were on US 191 coming up from The Valley of the Gods onto White Mesa when we saw a heard of mulies standing on the west side of the road. It was sunset. The scene was so unbelievable that I pulled over. Unfortunately my camera was stashed in the back of my '72 Subaru wagon so I couldn't get it without getting out which would have probably freaked out the deer & made them run off.

The bucks stood there looking at us. Their racks were outlined in the alpenglow on the peaks of the Sierra Abajo. Absolutely amazing. Didn't get the shot but the image is still with me.

[mike son]

Wow, these are great!

[charliebravo77]

Thanks all, here's some more from today. I really ought to be hunting instead, but so little time and so many things to do.

[charliebravo77]

Let's do something cool for conservation and public lands. I've been debating what I want my first "real" prints to be of and I can't think of a better way to unveil them. This 12×18″ limited number “Conservation Edition” print is professionally mounted and framed, numbered and signed. $25 (100% of net proceeds) from each sale will go to your choice of a donation in your name to Backcountry Hunters & Anglers or the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership or a United States Federal Duck Stamp (sent to you with the print). Support wildlife and conservation efforts while decorating your hunting cabin, living room or office. Only eight available, first come first served, limit one per person. I'll hand deliver to anyone here from the Chicagoland area with a giant thank you.
