Caught on the hop and a grab shot one of seven which tell the story. A kind of BOGOF.
Canon 1D3 Canon 800mm handheld from vehicle.
Thanks for looking

Nice capture, 2 great species in one image.
I like how the Deer is looking at you & how the Fox is lokking at the Deer.
The image is a little soft & would benefit from sharpening after resizing.
800mm hand held cant be easy.
I think you need to either crop or work in closer. The softness in the foreground does not add anything to the image, other than for me at least a feeling of horizontal banding, to the image
I don’t know when the rut is, but that could well be your best opportunity for some great action shots.
I do know that there are a lot of tutorial DVD’s, both of the species in general but also from a hunting perspective available in the states. Cabela’s is a good starting point. I was once told that there is little difference between hunting and photography, only the closeness to the subject, so I think you have a wealth of information available to you, which you can adapt to your needs.
