Whitetail Deer

I love deers they are so graceful and beautiful and you are lucky to get that close to them. I cannot see the photo as I have come through my emails but I shall have a look at it when I post this to you.

That is awesome. I grew up on a farm and live in a rural part of Texas. I love watching the wildlife around here, especially the deer. I even have a few bull snakes that live in my garden. Every once in a while they scare the crap out of me, but they ward off the rattle snakes! Great shot, and I hope you see many more in the days to come!

You need to come to my house sometime, Grandpa Bob. I have deer in my back yard all the time! I've also seen red foxes and a whole gang of turkeys one time!

It must be really nice near where you live...sure wish I could walk around and bump into a deer, or other "wildlife"I took this picture of a deer many, many moons ago...hehe...on one of my trips to Disneyworld and this was taken at the Discovery Island area. It was taken on Ilford Black and White film ASA speed 400, and I had my trusty 85mm-205mm zoom lens

Hello dear Grandpa Bob. It seems that this whitetail deer is looking at you curiously. He might be saying to himself, "what is Grandpa Bob doing with that small stuff in his hand?" Well, it is nice to see animals in the wild, not in a caged place. Happy photo taking, Grandpa Bob.

You do keep busy, don't you grandpa?? I had a deer in my backyard one day, and there are no deer around here normally.. It run off and I haven't seen it again, don't know where it came from nor where it went, but it was beautiful..

I'm surprised he stood there that long. We have lots of deer here. Yesterday I was helping my husband with a book and gift fair at a nursing home and one of the employees had a baby deer. One of the vets had called her as something had happened to its mother and the fawn was not weaned yet. She was carrying it around and had it on a leash and bottle feeding it. It was the cutest thing. When she was holding it the deer would turn its head up and lick her chin...like it actually thought she was it's mother. Apparently she has done this before..taken care of wild animals that were sick and left motherless. That reminds me, how is Minnie's raccoon?

hey, nice! I love watching the wildlife that comes through our property - we have had a lot of deer this year, many more than usual. Do you think it could be because we are conserving gas and not mowing everything??? leaving some areas more naturalized? though we have seen them on our mowed cliff and on our chat lined driveway.

Isn't it amazing when you can see these beautiful animals in their habitat AGB? We normally get to see a deer or two when we are on holiday in Aviemore but I couldn't manage the walks this year and we didn't get to catch a glimpse unfortunately. Thanks for sharing this shot! Hugs xxx

I see deer running around all the time around my house. I of course never have a camera when I see them. I am normally out in the yard or driving down the road. Twice in 2 days a few weeks ago I saw a mother deer and a baby deer on the side of the road. The sightings were only about a mile apart. It could have possibly been the same pair both times.

I love to watch deer and had not known we had any up in the 'tustin hills until the horrible two weeks of wild fires last fall. the poor deer were driven from the canyons and came down into the Tustin streets trying to get away from the flames, the ash, and soot. they were scared silly the fish and game people had to take them and put them in safe areas in the hills where the fire had not been. the first time in my life that I thought for an hour or so that the city of Tustin was going to be in the fires path then the wind changed and it did not touch the city of Tustin at all. for two long weeks we could not open our windows and had to use air conditioning as the soot and debris in the outside air was too bad to breathe.

I usually have deer coming through my back yard twice a day, but I haven't seen but the one that came through with her newborn, which is surprising. The neighbors tell me that they parade through with the babies all the time in past years, so I don't know if I'm not paying attention or what. I love to watch them. I think deer are one of the most peaceful looking animals that God created.

We h deer here and i love watching for them at night. They are beautiful.

Its so Beautiful and you could get so close. It seems a lovely place to visit, I hope you enjoyed your time there.
