I haven't had a lot of opportunity to pick the camera up in the past couple of years, but I managed to take a detour during a business trip to Montana.

I traveled north out of Missoula to the National Bison Range and captured this Mule deer buck in velvet one afternoon.

Very nice capture and good use of the light.

I love the first one, and agree with Harry (naturally) that the light is beautiful. Best, Pam

Harry and Pam, thanks for your comments. It was a thrill to get up on this guy and get these images with the velvet all a glow with the backlighting.

Love the rim light/backlighing in these images, very beautiful. Nicely done.

Very nice,. It is alway nice to be in the field photographing the whitetail.

Mike and Randy, thanks for taking the time to view and comment.

Randy, this isn't meant to be critical, just a little info to help identify Mule deer and White tails. The main differences are the obvious tail and the antlers. The antlers of a mule deer branch off of the main beam and fork. A Whitetail has all the points coming off of the main beam.
