I was out today at a friend of the family’s home working with my dad. Since I have been doing the 365 day photo project, I don’t leave home without a camera. As luck would have it, I looked out the window and saw a huge white-tailed buck. I quickly went outside, grabbed the camera from the truck, and made my way towards the field as quietly as possible.
I got close enough to get a few shots of the big buck, and without noticing me he walked back into the woods.
I walked further into the field hoping to get another glimpse, very quietly, and suddenly a young buck entered the field, walking STRAIGHT towards me!
I stood still.. hands shaking… and he noticed me. There was about 20 feet between the deer and I. He started snorting, but seemed un-alarmed as he stared me down. I had never been this close to a deer!
He got bored with me, so he frolicked around the field, took a final look at me and then disappeared into the woods. What an experience!!
