A beauty. You nailed the combination of shutter speed and ISO. Guessing any subsequent frames have motion blur. Looks like he just spotted you and is ready to bolt.
Thanks! Yes... I had to push the ISO, as it was a drizzly morning. I took a number of photos of this guy and many suffered from motion blur. For this image I was using a downed log as support.

Adding to my earlier comment: Fantastic brow tines-super long
You know your deer... this suggests that he is a very mature buck. While his antler count may not increase, the thickness or the rack will probably grow with the brow tines if he makes it through 2024.

Great shot. He's ready to go, to battle a rival buck or mate with a receptive doe. We have a couple of bucks around the house, but they're only active at night so far -- no photo opportunities.
