Whitetail Stories from the Yetti | Matt addington

Matt records a solo episode from the Yetti ice shelter in Minnesota, reflecting on the joy of combining work, photography, and fellowship in the outdoors. He discusses his passion for wildlife photography, shaped by a lifelong love of nature and hunting, and shares two memorable deer photography experiences. The first story is about a wide nine-point buck he has photographed for years. This fall, he captured a striking image of the buck during the tail end of the rut, aligning the shot so that the doe in the foreground was in focus while the buck's antlers framed her perfectly. The second story involves a mule deer buck in the Rocky Mountains. Initially elusive, the deer eventually allowed Matt and his friends to follow it, leading to a stunning sunset shot overlooking a lake with mountains in the background. Matt reflects on the intimate connection built over several days of observation.
