Mule Deer
Captured this mule deer at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal Sunday. They were pretty active. Thanks for looking.

Based on the look in his eyes and the tilt of the head, the rut is getting really close! Excellent behavior shot!

Good catch, Dan!

Not a big fan of the tall single grass on the left as I find it a little distracting, but as always spot on on the comp.

The head down doe adds plenty of interest to me. The grass color is a nice compliment to the buck's hair too.

Very nice capture Dan, I like the texture and detail in his fur, which I bet looks great at a larger size. Nice uncluttered background too.

Excellent, as usual! 'Field & Stream' material if there ever was one.
