Big bucks
No, not that kind. The deery kind. I was looking out the front garden window at the kitchen sink and saw some does go past the driveway in the upper field. I hadn’t taken any wildlife photos to post recently, so I thought, what the heck and headed down to the studio to get the camera and put on the telephoto lens. When I glanced out the rear windows, I saw SIX bucks down by the lake, at least three of which had very large antler racks.
Plans changed in a hurry as I decided to photograph them instead. I haven’t seen any large bucks at all over the last few years and here was a large herd right before my eyes. This is the best of the 15 photos I took. Late afternoon light, a telephoto lens and a bunch of moving animals conspired against me, but this one is not too bad. I think you can see how big these guys are and how huge their racks look. I sure would like to find some of those antlers when they are shed in the spring. Wouldn’t you?
