After a lifetime of hunting, Steve Lindberg, 75, traded his gun sight for a camera viewfinder and, for nearly the last seven years, he has shared at least a photo a day, mainly of animals and nature, on his Facebook page, the Detroit Free Press reported.

Lindberg said he hopes the buck survives the season.

"At the end of the day, I'll be honest with you, I'd like to get more pictures of that deer," Lindberg told WLUC. "I'd like to see if it comes back next year, so I'm kind of rooting for it to make it through deer season."

One more shot of three antlers ... just to dispel any photoshop rumors.
