White-tailed Deer

a smile?

great shot, however...

This one might need another year to be a real player, and that goofy grin isn't helping...

Good morning Brian, what a magnificent shot. The deer are all over the place right now. He looks so magestic amongst the grasses and plants. Another shot of perfection from you. Hope you are doing well. Enjoy your day!

Nice shot. I tried getting a shot of a buck yesterday but he was a trickster. He was in some tangle and as i moved in he slipped out. I encircled the area but he had vanished. He moved so stealthfully and didn't rustle a leaf or branch. Looked just like this fellow.

Fantastic shot! Hopefully this guy will make it to December. Hunting signs are all over the preserves and after the last couple of hunting seasons, they are not as easy to spot in Springbrook.

He is quite a big boy! His surroundings are perfect.
I love the way half his face is lit up and the other half is in shadow.
Nice work.

Nice capture of this W-T buck. I haven't seen many deer at Springbrook in some time... now that the leaves are down maybe it will be easier to spot them. LOL!

I'd normally call a forked brow tine buck with this spread a real player, but the fact you don't tells me how good your QDM is down there!!! Congrats...and nice shot

I was wondering if the weather had you baffled! So many cloudy days and rain the last few weeks. The sunlight on this buck is outstanding and the next few weeks should get exciting for the whitetail photographers!

I was wondering when the big buck images would start to appear. He's a beauty! Love the split brow times!

Sweet shot. Wow, you see so many bucks.

He does remind me of Pedro Martinez. But my judgement may be impaired from last night's game. (RED Sox fan)
