Sandy Vongries Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 After a careful stalk, I got this Mule Deer portrait with my 28-300 LOL I had to creep across the livingroom to the door to the patio - I swear that this one with the split ear was someone's pet! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Currie Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Nice. Around here it seems the sound of the latch is enough to send them flying. Touch a sliding door and you're lucky to get a tail in the hedgerow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Vongries Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 sound of the latch is enough to send them flying Same here - this doe in particular might have hung around, but I just shot through the glass. Sometimes have to send the Rhodesian out to chase them out of the garden - No, he doesn't want to catch them, and does return on command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I always have envied those of you who successfully "stalk" game Here's my (and my dog's) success on one occasion. The deer seem to have little but scorn for us, however. (note absence of man-made intrusions as per forum guidelines) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Bowes Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Moderators on this forum seem to be a bit more "mellow" than at "another" popular hang out! Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent Peri Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Words allowed! Hmm... in that case, I was born to a poor family in Borneo in 1982. I was captured and sent to a zoo in San Francisco where Vince "rescued" me in 1984. Since then, I've been a trusty sidekick despite his NEVER giving me enough termites to eat. Bananas, I get all I can eat, but do you think he could spring for several pounds of termites every once in a while? Nooooooo, they cost too much, he says... http://bayouline.com/o2.gif 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Parsons Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Words allowed! I thought Bill was referring to the furniture visible in the un-cropped version of the shot - the 'human artefacts', as it were. Correct me if I'm wrong ...

dcstep Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 After a careful stalk, I got this Mule Deer portrait with my 28-300 Well done. I shoot around 90% of my deer shots out my car-blind window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moving On Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 (note absence of man-made intrusions as per forum guidelines) From what I see it's no pets or manmade stuff in the Monday in Nature threads rather than the whole forum. Transitioning from the bow a bit to the camera myself in the stalking. Byproduct of getting older I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Sandy, hope it's okay if I post one that I carefully stalked with my car-blind?

Andrew Gosden Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Suburban deer are a bit easier. This fellow patiently waited while I switched lenses and adjusted all the camera settings - I'd been shooting long exposure shots of a little stream. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
