If you ever wondered why the buck crossed the road, here is your answer. It also gets him shot during deer season. When the weather turns cool in the fall, the Rut begins and bucks lose most of their wary and wily ways. It is a ritual that is needed to ensure growth of the herd. I hope you don't find this too graphic. That is not my intent. It is part of nature.

Very clear shot against the dark background Tick. No wisecracks from me. This is nature as it is.

Well .... nature is nature and nature always takes it's course.
You captured part of the animal kingdom and you captured it well . I have seen my fair share of breeding rituals in the horse world more than I care to say.
So this is where Bambi came from ....

How did you ever manage this shot Tick? It is a very real part of nature that we don't normally see. Nice work.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Awesome capture Tick!! Not many hunters get to see this! Can't wait to show it to my hubby and Logun, who are avid deer and turkey hunters. They even like bear hunting lol:)

A great nature capture, Tick. Its not often when you get to see an OB-GYN make a house call let alone answer the call of nature at the same time. Good details and clarity in the photo.
