Rock River Drift 10/6/26 Deer

Came around a bend at sunrise. Looked behind me and something big was standing in the dark shadows, staring right at me, a Big Buck along the Rock River. This was a decent day. Birds are moving through, most left, but some heron have showed up, one was a Black Crowned Night Heron and another is a Green Heron and lots of Blue Heron around. I started my drift right at sunrise, so it was still mostly shady and they is where I saw this buck watching me. He didn’t mind me at all. There has been 3 bucks hanging around together and they are used to seeing me. That is one reason I try to go out at least a couple times a week, so wildlife gets used to me.

I take Rock River Photos from my boat, all hand held in full manual. I use an R5II and 2 R5 cameras with rf 100-500 and ef 300 II. I also fish some, but spend most of my time drifting. I drift near Sterling Rock Falls and the Mississippi River pool 13 & 14.
