Doug a/k/a photodoug http://www.pbase.com/photodug/profile) told me the deer and turkey were thick in Cades Cove over the weekend so I drove over yesterday. Saw a very large flock of turkey that was too far off to photograph but the deer and coyotes were there. I shot this one on foot but using the car as a moving blind, I shot several more. I stood within yards of several large bucks and it's obvious that the rutting season is still here. Great day for photography and other shots from the day are in http://www.pbase.com/bkiefer/wildlife_in_cades_cove_121905
I’m also behind in my comments and will catch up later today.
