Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Pics from the farm

Four years ago we fenced several hundred acres in Bama with an objective of enjoying whitetail deer. This is NOT a hunting preserve, but obviously we have to take out deer. Call it a necessary evil, not hunting, as its the most egregious part of the process. Much joy has been granted us by these deer, they are amazing creatures to observe.

We started with several does, native to the area, along with a few bucks to take care of their duty. The crop of fawns dropped the first year are now three years old. There's five bucks in the bunch.

These deer are not tame, but we're out there enough that they tolerate our presence. Now is the time to get pictures. They will start breaking each other up soon. Also, with a hint of rut in the air, they forget about the camera man, and I can get closer to them than normal.

Here's one of the five three year olds.
