Saw the bushes moving as I was lying in bed around 7 AM. There was no observable wind, so I got out of bed and found three young bucks feeding on one of the bushes (We have a natural, protected woods behind my condo). Frequently there are deer feeding, but in 12 years I have never seen a buck. Grabbed the camera, made a quick change in settings and clicked off 8 shots thru the window.

These guys are not as commonly seen as the females, so this was pretty remarkable. Quick response. Good job.

I too live in a townhouse community. Last year there was three young bucks hanging out by the mail boxes. As many times seeing deer that is the first and only time I saw bucks.
