This buck and doe were in our back yard for over five hours. Texas deer are not even half as big as Ohio deer, where I lived before moving to Texas. I shot 117 photos through our closed kitchen window. After five hours I had to scare them away when they started eating our plants.
Nicely done. They would have been venison in my backyard.

I don't think I've ever seen deer lying as in the last shot. Good photos!
Love the Buck sticking his tongue out at you. That is a great shot.
The photos are interesting to me for technical reasons. I would bet the window you were shooting through is double paned. The photos are all slightly out of focus. They were shot with the aperture probably as open as it could be, because there is noticeable lack of depth of field, and if shot in midday, with plenty of sunshine, the aperture should (you would think) have been more closed, giving better depth of field. Or, you could have programed the aperture to be as open as could be, but I don't know why you would do that...I think the window interfered here too. This is exactly why all of us know not to shoot through auto windows..focus problems...but I didn't think the f-stop was so influenced...imagine what you would get shooting through a tinted window glass! Thanks for posting the photos..we all learn 'cause you took the time to do so..
