While in the forest today, i could hear the calling of the male deer (BUCK) so i thought i would try to get a photo. They were in the middle of a thicket and my attempt at stalking them failed. Light footed i am not!!! and off they ran.
Attempt 2 got me to around 50 yards of them and with the Buck crashing around it was hard to get a good view of him.This was the best i could do. Better luck next time.
what a handsome, dark fellow! be careful out there, peter!
