Autofocus. This gives a better idea of the brush they are in. And I found out the ticks are still in season...hope I found them all...

I wonder if the one with the crook antler is still around.
I see them around here at night - in front of my headlights.

BOTH images knock my socks offf. I'd love to get this close to a buck. How awesome you took this full frame. Gorgeeous antlers and love the red berries in the second shot....wonderful composition...excellent sunny day and tack sharp as always. Ugh...I hate ticks......fortunately, ours come and go quickly and not where I live but futher east an hour away. Deer hunting starts here this weekend...I hope the deer stay safe. That's just me.

ah, yes, autofocus, the reason i missed my one chance at a pine marten... this image is great. we're having the same warm fall here, they might get pushed down by the snows, but next week looks dismal (in the 60's) hope you are in long sleeves/pants!

what a beautiful animal.

Fantastic shot of the buck! I've been seeing a new buck in my yard the past couple weeks, and I'm guessing he'll likely be the father of my does' 2009 fawns.

Great shots HR! It seems like the rut was strong this year. Bucks running all over the place in Pennsylvania! More bigger ones than I have seen in recent years. Thanks for sharing your catch with us.

Excellent capture! I almost got a 10-pointer the other day. However, I wasn't hunting - I was driving through my neighborhood ;-) Awesome bokeh on that fist pic!

Amazing shot. Since I've got my 300mm I haven't had the opportunities I used to get. Do you think the deer know?

@Gator - I'm quite sure they know. And the birds as well...
