As seen above, I posted a few photos of Hoss back in November 2021. Now for the unfortunate update, Hoss isn't doing so well. The enclosed photos show an injured Hoss, while resting in our backyard a few days ago. It's apparent that he has injured his left rear leg in this photo series, and he definitely isn't at his normal 100%. Don't know if he was hit by a car, some idiot shot him, or he got tagged by a snake. The last three shots were taken about a half hour after sunset, and it took some extreme work with DxO Photolab 6 Elite to get these results. All photos shot with my 90D and 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II, and ISO was 12K for all. 90D_23-04-11_IMG_1050_DxO-1.jpg90D_23-04-11_IMG_1055_DxO-1.jpg90D_23-04-11_IMG_1073_DxO-1.jpg90D_23-04-11_IMG_1097_DxO-1.jpg90D_23-04-11_IMG_1102_DxO-1.jpg90D_23-04-11_IMG_1117_DxO-1.jpg90D_23-04-11_IMG_1123_DxO-1.jpg90D_23-04-11_IMG_1127_DxO-1.jpg90D_23-04-11_IMG_1128_DxO-1.jpg90D_23-04-11_IMG_1130_DxO-1.jpg
