Very nice captures, you are so lucky to get that close. I like the one of him looking straight at you.

Another nice series of wild life images.. Mule Deer I think.. Banff has a lot of them and unlike the white tail they will wander up to you pretty close.

I love the expression of the second as he checks to make certain he's being "shot" with a camera vs. and weapon. You must have seemed pretty harmless, given his peace grazing. Nice photos, nice story in pictures.

Thanks Linda, It was a good experience of taking these pictures, when the hers was crossing the road guys with me were scared and i wanting good photos not having good zoom i was walking on my toes towards them so i don't scare them away. I was so close they could even here my shutter.

A very humane way to shoot deer.

Great pictures.
