Description
. . . Or so he thought. This is a young Buck, evidenced by the nubs of his budding antlers, and by his behavior. He was sort of hiding and when we approached he started to move away. A Doe would bolt immediately. But he moved in a rather casual manner and when I gave my 'Squirrel Fussing' sound he turned around and took a couple of steps back toward me. No Doe would do that. They might turn and stare, standing very still, but approach? Never. This guy didn't seem to care that we were only a few yards from him. Hope he learns better before he ends up a trophy.
Thanks for looking,
Ken

How placid. And I'm sure he will learn. Hunting season will start soon if it hasn't already and after he catches the scent of humans and gunpower mixed together in the air, he'll learn. But bucks typically have that behavior because they will lure the danger away from their harem with slower but caculated moves in an opposite direction from the does. Fabulous moment!

Strange behavior, but Mrs L, seems to know the answer and as there are no deer here in OZ (only at Theme Parks and Zoo's) I guess she is right. Anyhoo Ken, neat Nature capture and stalking...hehe ! ~Cheers~
