Great picture. May I be bold enough to ask a question? What type of camera did you use in this picture, settings, did you use a tripod? Thank you.

I just use a Nikon D7000 with a 55-300 lens and I also just had it on auto. No...no tripod.

Flippant reply follows: Watch out for deer borne ticks.
Around here , with our apparently tasty plantings, we have discovered that there are no Bambi's. There is only one species of deer here and it's called Brutus. We planted what the book said were deer proof plants. Apparently the deer don't read. Whatever they don't eat during the spring/summer growing season , they destroy with their antlers in the fall when they are shedding the velvet in prep for the rutt and also during the rutt when they bang their antlers on the branches and twigs (pretty much destroying them in the process) to make rattling sounds to intimidate rivals and attract doe. Our house siding still shows how enthusiastic they can get in their antler bashing. Yet even knowing this, we still feed our destructive "pets" in the winter when other food sources are scarce.

We don't have that problem here and that, that is why I have the feeder away from the house. I use the feeder as a tool to shoot pictures only. I get about 20 of them out here in the morning and at night.

What a tender moment. I love seeing the fawns and if it were possible, I'd feed them too. They've lost so much of their habitat around here with subdivisions popping up everywhere acreage is available it really makes it difficult for them and they crowd up in what little woodlines are left.

I know what you mean...I live in a very excluded area with lots of protective "wooded", land. I don't have any land development here.

Ohhhh, how beautiful, DNW! I love deer but seldom see them around here.
