Notice the white chest patch underneath the white throat patch. This is a rather rare, unusual feature on Whitetail Deer. Posted 12 years ago
I am hoping on snowfall here as well, always an inspiring seasonal aspect.
Btw. did you see the geotag thing on the right? You can assign a location to your photo's so other people can see where you shot it. Not everybody tags their images, but it's fun and informative. Posted 12 years ago
The deer are sensitive and shy, and will not withstand any more than a few photographers in the area; any more than that, and they stay hidden in the brush all day, and only come out at night. Posted 12 years ago
Tom, you are right. If they are that shy it is very good of you to think about the animals as only you can estimate the effects on the poluation you know. Keep it hidden and please share them with me on JungleDragon. These deer have a bit of the stuff of legends rubbed on them. Mythical.

Wow, Ludo . . . it sounds like you appreciate Whitetail Deer as much as I do!
They are splendid creatures, and I wait all year for the November rut (breeding season), when they forget their usual caution for a couple weeks, and allow themselves to be effectively photographed! Posted 12 years ago, modified 12 years ago
