I need a photo of some South Texas brush

Shane,
I took these this afternoon with this thread in mind on my afternoon walk. Best I could do with what scenery I have in the neighborhood.
(wish the sun was right...or at least spilling through here)

Eric, I don't know if you know George Barnett or not. He has a lot of jumping buck photos too. I contacted him about using his. He has a Texas address, so I thought maybe there would be a shot. Turns out he's a Yankee. He wouldn't let me use his photos if I was going to draw any kind of Texas terrain with the deer, because Texas is ugly and he doesn't like to look at it. He said he'd trade me the use of a photo for a print if I would draw one of his a Midwestern subspecies deer in a Midwestern scene. I told him I might be interested in that one of these days, but I am working on a bunch of drawings that require Texas scenery right now.

Wrong!!! George Barnett is my uncle, born in Oklahoma, lived in Texas forever.

STROS: Thats my photo i took that in 2007 in Jim Hogg County. That is actually Kennedy Ranch Fence. 7 strand slick wire with holes drilled through every cedar post for all 7 strands to be run through.

Interesting. He lives (or used to live) in my neck of the woods and cut his teeth on photographing "H" bucks. I'm surprised he would take that stance.

Interesting older thread here. If I'm not mistaken it was George Barnett that had a photo of a huge free ranging buck taken at an undisclosed location not that far from Dallas. 50-75 mile radius I think it was? I am trying to remember what publication that was in and have about decided it was in the Dallas Morning News outdoor section. Years ago.

Thinking back on that, I figure now it was probably taken at Hagerman based on Grayson's post.
