If you didn't say he was moving and it was later in the year, I'd suspect there was a doe below hidden by the foliage.

Thanks guys.

The light was at the very end of the day.
Sundown is about 8:45, this was down in a valley at 8:42.

This guy is not young, but he is in his prime.
We were talking about it last night, we believe him to be 5 years old.
Most deer in the park check out at 8 or 9. Well, the ones that don't get hit by cars.
He's already showing 12 points, his final count from last year, with a lot more growing to do.

A few others were out last night. It should be a rut season this year.

What fun!...this could just be youthful joy at being alive in the spring. Traveller

I can certainly picture the moment as he is bounding through the brush. Very nice capture.

From the look on his face it made me wonder if a predator wasn't far behind. Then I read your caption notes! Paul

Quite a rack he's working on.

Was the light as sublime as it looks to me?
