Whitetail Buck

[Hatch1921]

It's rutting season and the bucks are chasing the does. This one was alone in a field following the scent of a doe, he would sniff the ground and then hold his head up and lick and snort... he did this several times. Thankfully he wasn't all that interested in what I was doing and this allowed me to capture some shots.

Sony A1 + 200-600

Enjoy the day all.

Nice set. His neck certainly looks like he's in rut. Well done.

Many thanks all, I'm glad you enjoy the shots and thanks for the comments. He's such a pretty buck, I've been lucky enough to photograph him a few times.

Here he is in velvet and on a warm winter evening when the light was really nice. I hope he makes it through deer season and I get a chance to photograph him in the future.
