Here are a couple of shots from our hunt this year. We were unsuccessful in securing a coveted coues whitetail deer, "the grey ghost". We had some rough weather out in the desert of southern Arizona but it was a great time. This was not a photography trip by any means but I managed to get a couple of good shots.
Day 1: We had to tie the tent to the truck to keep it from blowing over. Needless to say the truck didn't help once the rain was pouring down.
The wind also required us to improvise in able to have a hot meal. Do not try this at home.
Self portrait from day 4, at this point we hadn't seen a buck for 3 days so I was getting bored.
Just before we left we took this shot, the terrain was full of cactus and rock, hardly any shade and even less deer.

This is shot from the same location only looking toward the sun. I loved how the sun was breaking through the clouds.
Crappy job.
Bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) These guys are a species introduced into AZ many years ago. They destroy many of the native species and can carry fungal diseases. As such, we rounded up a dozen and had frog legs.
This unhappy guy was found crossing the road after dark.
This Canyon treefrog (Hyla arenicolor) happened through the camp.
This little guy was found around 9:00am just hanging out on the road, trying to blend in.
