Captured some mule deer at the Arsenal this morning. They were pretty active. Thanks for looking.

These are fantastic portraits, Dan. The first and third are amongst the best mule deer images I've ever seen and most certainly deserve a wider audience.
Thanks for sharing your work here. It's a real privilege and great pleasure to see these magnificent creatures in their full glory!

The lighting and comp with #1 is stunning.

Thanks again! Had to take it out of the window. Just pulled in and there he was.

Cool! The second guy almost looks like a cross between a coyote and a mule deer

I'm glad to see you had a good day at RMA - and proved that special access isn't needed to make great images! I'd recommend cropping some off the bottom of #1 so the missing foot isn't a distraction. Nice work!

Great work! Nice lighting. You got an excellent "catch light" in every shot.
