the blown up picture of a deer at no less then 400 hundred yards

same picture without blowing him up I knew because of how open it was getting to this guy wasnt going to be a easy stalk but decided what the heck i might as well get a closer look and I am glad I did he isnt a impressive deer by most standard but sneaking up on him bedded down in 2 to 3 foot sage with another buck and eight doe was a little bit of a achievement.

here he pokes his head into the wash I belly crawled up to get close. . .I think he was smelling ? the wind was blowing pretty stiff from right to left on a slant towards me

I dont know if they winded me or not but all the deer started moving through in front of me so I took some more pictures as they went through before I went home for some leftover turkey

I think the doe were more aware then the bucks were

More smelling maybe the doe

my leg was cramping and I had to move slightly He was instantly watching me but after a minute of stillness he continued feeding

after about fifteen minutes I finally moved again and the doe were onto me and they all moved off I think i need a quiter camera the doe were very aware of the shutter sound untill i moved though they couldnt place the noise

Wish i would have had my tripod with me I was dying holding the heavy lense up watching the deer

Love watching deer playing specially in the new snow. . . I think this buck was chasing off the lil spike because there was a hot doe below him these were right before dark and he was moving fast pictures didnt come out super clear
