Deer Time - 12-04-2011, 11:21 PM

Critique: NC:

Cooler temperatures and shorter days make me want to look for deer.  So far this year that search has been fruitful as I've seen lots of deer roaming east to west.

I'm glad that the season is just getting started as there are lots of opportunities to come.

I shot most of the images from the seat of my truck.  Drive around and you'll be surprised how close you can get to wild deer when you stay in your vehicle.

Hi Ron,

That mule deer buck just watched while the whitetail did his thing.

Thanks!

That 1000mm was accomplished with a 500mm and a 2X extender.

Always great to see Muleys, we get mostly White-tailed around Houston. You're right about staying in the vehicle. A bean bag can help out the window.

Hope you got some of the recent rain up there too....
