Roe Buck

Hi everybody, I am back after a lapse of 2 or 3 years. Here's a Roe Buck taken at a feeding station for Roe which I have fed for the last 8 years as a Gamekeeper and Forester on a private estate in the Yorkshire Dales I have gained the confidence of up to 5 Roe when I arrive within the feeding area on the quad I start whistling and they come running in and stand 12yds from me while I scatter food.I do this religiously same time everyday.

That's good stuff Colin.
Heard your name a few times ! (Don't panic - it was good ! )
Good to see you back.

A beautiful subject and I can relate to the thrill of working in such close proximity to these often shy and nervous creatures.
I've been photographing one particular doe for several years and on a couple of occasions she's been that comfortable with my presence that's she's laid down whilst I sat quietly nearby,probably less than eighty feet away. A very memorable and rewarding experience.

Hello Colin
So YOU ARE still alive Nice picture. That thing you gave me years ago still alived and well too

Best wishes

Its great to be able to be that consistent in feeding and of course helps to get good results, pic here is maybe a little cluttered with the tree and bracken for me, keep it going though.

Nice shot Colin
