Default Portriat of a Buck

Got this shot on the way back from morning staff meeting. There were 7 bucks laying along a fence as I drove by and this is the only one that hung around long enough for me to get my camera out and get up to the fence.

Buck-edited

Heyward it was quite a site to see especially at the time of day this was taken 11:03 and the first time I had seen any deer on this property in the 3 years I have driven by it. They were all scatterd along the fence for about 300 yards. There was an 8 point with a bigger rack that was already out of velvet that I really wanted a shot of but not to be today. I think the 15 inches of rain we got this last week ran them out of the valleys up to this higher ground

Great shot. Always pays to have the camera at hand.
