I really should cut my lawn more often.

These deer are in a park and are very much at ease with humans.
I've been photographing them here during the rut for at least 10 years.
I've been warned by one buck twice, to move away.
Besides that, I was probably 50 yards away from him.
This is the one that maybe wanted a little piece of me,
but he just kicked some dirt around and snorted at me a couple of times.
I backed away, and he went back to his doe.

Seems like they get more aggressive during the rut. I’d be concerned about personal safety getting that close but what do I know. Paul
