A pair of Mule Deer bucks came to visit me today in the park. They were generous enough to allow me to snap a few off,and give me full model releases.:D

60 shots later and of those ,these are my favorites.

Finally a head shot and you can see why they are called mule deer due to the size of the ears.
These Deer are only found in the Western part of North America and are much larger than the white tailed deer. It is not uncommon to see males in the rut exceeding 300lbs.

    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!"

    Like em all Tim thumb.gifthumb.gif Especially, the one with steam coming out of the mouth clap.gifclap.gif


    I agree with Harry about the model releases, good plan thumb.gif


    Harry,
    You wouldn't have these problems if you had used amateur Egrets and Herons. But no, you had to go with those darn unionized Pro models :lol
