I mean more Deer shots, sorry about the title. I just could not help myself.

From Today
40659985-M.jpg
He is bigger than yesterdays buck and he is hanging out with the ladies however the rutt has not begun as of yet and the big stud bucks have not shown up yet to kick the wannabe's out.

His body size is nice and his neck is starting to fill out.
I estimate his weight at approx 200-220lbs.:rambo

Nice of him to let me take some snaps of him.

Same buck as yesterday, shot taken today. A little smaller than the one above this .

Yum Salad my favorite.:eat


Cheers,

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    I think my rifle would have replaced my camera for the shooting of this beautiful buck:D


    Great picsthumb.gif Where you able to get pretty close or did you use some long glass?

    My rifle is coming out the last week in November:): . However I will not be hunting these deer.
    These Mule deer tolerate humans they are urbanized. I shoot a F2.8 200L

    and mostof these shots are not crops so many times I am 20 feet away and often have to step back to get the full animal in frame. I move slow and quiet and they do not spook. If I get nervous or hurried they do sense it and increase distance.
    I avoid eye contact they do not like eye contact at all.
    Cheers and thanks for looking and commenting

    The bucks go out of their way to avoid any eye contact they always try to quarter away from you .
    This was a lucky snap.

    I like them all, but I agree with David. The 3rd one is awesome. Great composition, nice exposure and it's oh so interesting to look at clap.gif
