13-NOV-2013 Hank v/d Velde

20131113 - 2 105, 113 SERIES - White-tailed Deer.jpg

Ottawa West

Two images of a White-tailed buck hot on the chase during the rut.

Top image: Actually two images stitched together, The Doe in front briefly stops to give us a look-over. The Buck on the other hand has only one thing in mind. He is actually about 30 meter behind the doe who continues the tease by staying out of reach for the time being. This chase went on for some hours at the end of which we left and the Buck decided to take a short break by laying down whilst keeping an eye on the Doe.


Anticipating the prize.
