A great shot Debra. Amasing clarity. The overall look so natural. I am glad Life grants you with so beautyful moments in the nature's world..

I am pretty happy myself Yves. The rut will probably be over in another week. I am hoping to get a few more encounters like this but, if not that is ok to. Thanks very much for the feedback Yves. I have been playing with my camera settings for these low light shots.

Yes he did. The park is pretty busy right now with does being chased. Thanks very much Jane.

Description
This white-tailed buck was defending his right to the doe in the other picture. She eventually stood up and started to run and the fun began. She eventually let him catch up...things became serious.
