Another photo from yesterday evening's drive. This guy came across the gravel road to distract us from his mate (and I assume colt) in the field next to the road. We didn't see them until he went back into the field and they got up from some long grass. The grass was still too long to see any small colt, but there must have been one there for the actions of the male. He was almost too close for the lens combo I had on at the time. He also displayed some interesting behavior until I guess he realized we weren't really a threat.

All wild and natural - no setups or baiting ever
