Deer Pictures

[Black wallnut]

Here are two more pictures from last weekends hunting trip. This first one is of a buck, possibly the largest buck I have ever seen and I have seen plenty of big bucks, that we saw on our way into the woods. It crossed the road in front of us down in a valley with a house on about every 50 acres. I quickly grabbed the camera, by which time it had moved to a field. By the time I was the 30 or 40 steps up the road to get this picture it was running full out. Blame the poor shot on me shaking plus the deer running swiftly. I did not even have time to check the settings and as you can see the camera was still set for indoor pics. Look above the head. Those are antlers shining in the light.


This one was right after lunch. We were driving down a road and the deer was walking towards us. The wind was favorable so after I stopped and turned the car off the deer kept walking straight at us for 30 more yards before dropping off the road. It then walked near the road in the same direction. I was able to peer over the bank to get this shot. Only a forkhorn but he has a large body. Hopefully he will get wiser over the next year or he might not escape hunters such as myself to grow as large as the first deer.

That's pretty cool. The LOML and I were hiking up in the Rockies about a month ago and had a doe and two of her fawns walk up next to us at about 10 feet away. They circled around us and then went down the trail in the opposite direction, not a care in the world except some curiosity from the little ones.

I didn't realize that a doe could birth two fawns at once. Talked to the park ranger as we were leaving, he said it's rare to see it up there but it happens.

The second is a great picture, Mark. Wish the first one was clearer. Would have been a great shot.

The deer come out of the woods across the track to feed. Unfortunately the love our fruit trees. We have one doe with twins this year.

Sounds like that first one would have been a good one to bring home with ya.


This fella hangs out around where the wife works. She got a great shot of him the other day.

Yeah, I love to watch the deer in the wetland behind our house, but didn't appreciate them completely defoliating our very young peach tree the first year it bore fruit. It never recovered.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. Stan's was a great shot!

There is a buck that has been around the last few days. I would love to get a shot of him....Better yet, a shot AT him!

bmyers that is exactly what I see when i see a big juicy deer

On my first and only trip to the Pacific Northwest, the guys I was with decided to go see Mount St. Helens. Due to the the low cloud layer and roads being closed due to snow (quite a treat for a bunch of south Alabama boys!), we never did see the mountain. However, on the way back to Portland, we did see an entire heard of elk standing in a field. We stopped and took a several pictures before the head elk decided he'd had enough of camera flashed and the whole bunch took off. It was an amazing sight.

I remember when Mt. St. Helens blew and where I was at when it happened, even though it has been 27 years since it happened.

I also remember when Mark and I were dating and we had gone for a drive in the hills and as we were driving down one road a herd of elk passed in front of us and it was just amazing. I was born and raised here in the valley and have seen a few elk here and there but to see a herd of about 50 to 100 cross the road in front of us and be about five to ten feet in front of the car was truly amazing.
