Sunil:

Very perceptive. Yes, digital cameras also make the deer look smaller. It's not as noticeable with does, but the rack size on bucks loses anywhere from 2 to half their points.

BTW, if anyone doubts the apparent pound-adding abilities of digi-cams, I have a number of old deer hunting pictures taken on film in which I appear to be as skinny as a rail - what more proof could you want?

BM:

Those aren't earmuffs. I am a proud graduate of the Krusty the Klown Kollege of Deer Hunting. Let me assure you the hair looked worse yesterday without the hat.

This doe blooded the Encore. But I have a pair of T/C Contenders (the Encore's older, smaller brother) set up as a pistol and a carbine that I have used on groundhogs and other assorted varmints (in .223 Rem, .22 LR, and .357 Maximum) and deer (in .357 Maximum, pistol only).
