Great photos. I love the "action" shot with the running deer kicking up dust :) We have white tail deer in Vermont. Where I lived in California we had black tailed deer which is basically a smallish mule deer. The California deer were pretty tame because I lived in an urban area. There are lots of deer hunters in Vermont and the deer are very skittish. I've seen deer tracks and scat behind my house but haven't seen the deer that leave them yet :(
Those wild white deer didn't want to hang around a photographer lol. I wish I could have gotten closer for the action shot. I remember seeing some tamish black tail deer in glen ellen CA, back then I didn't have my zoom lens yet, those guys probably get fat eating all the wine grapes from the orchards there.
I'm guessing the Vermont area is pretty rural right? The deer get to be super wild there. Here in Illinois they are super tame and could care less if they see you walking in the forest. We have a bit of an overpopulation of them here and with that comes the excess amount of deer ticks.
Cali blacktail deer. And I have a crappy zoom so these deer are "closer than they appear in photo" haha
Aha you got some with some points on them maybe a 4 and a 6 pointer? I always wonder if they would come closer if I had an apple with me. I doubt it but the tame ones seem to be looking for food of some kind. Or they are just trying their freeze method of blending in with the foliage.
