Texas Bucks

[Lan-Lord]

It was nice that I could capture these guys with the golden glow of the evening on them. They moved through this little meadow pretty quick. It looks like one of them has a drop tine forming.

hope you enjoy.

Great Pictures again Chris, I love looking at your shots!

Glad you guys enjoyed them. I figured I had better put out a couple more big photo pushes before they drop their head gear for the year.

I just realized, the last shot has 2 does in the background (upper right). I saw the does later in the evening (almost dark) when I left. I spooked them, or actually, they spooked me. The only way you can really tell they are there is by the horizontal plane of their backs. (see my article on spotting deer here that talks about this more)
