Description
(See Deer Dance 1 for what's going on here.)
These are the next two stances the deer I came across took. They were done in a staccato manner, almost like military drill moves. From what I'm told, this behavior is a warning and a threat of aggression which can be attested to bucks, but I see no antlers - not even "buttons". However, I suppose it could be a particularly aggressive doe; I've run across a few of those in human society. :^) Tomorrow I'll post the last of these. I only wish all of you could have experienced this. Those of you who have know the beauty and thrill of witnessing such a display first hand.
Thanks for Looking!
Ken

Ha Ha really cute and funny, and very interesting that they should do this - Great capture!!!
How cool is that!!! and you were able to get a good shot too!
Two excellent shots. Fantastic details, superbly done!
Gorgeous. Breathtaking. Stunning. And as for the over-aggressive doe, perhaps she was hiding a young one in the grass and when her threat didn't work, she decided to see if she could lead you elsewhere. A beautiful series of shots, Kenny! A very tasty shot.
This reminds me of the commercial, where the guy walks up to the deer and it stands on its hind legs and attacks him (like a kangaroo). These guys are definitely aggressive at times. How far away were you from it? A safe distance I hope.
Superb capture and the pose on the deer is fabulous! What an awesome shot.
super shots. I read of deers attacting people at time. Mostly bucks but I guess does too if they had too. those hofs is deadly and can hurt
Tough chicks giving you a hard time ? maybe you should take your guitar on these Nature walks, to sooth the savage beasts ? Glad to know you didn't get stomped and manged to get these fantastic shots ! Well done & ~Cheers~ :o)
So cool, what more can I say bunny. A great reminder of one of our hikes.
It looks both frightened and curious. You did a wonderful job capturing this.
Great captures!
Wow! These take my breath away and remind me of a scene one misty morning in central spain where a doe trotted by a medieval castle right in front of me. These are super shots which clearly show how she moves. Did she then charge you? ha, ha.
Oh so cute... gorgeous capture!
