I went shooting once again with Dick last Friday who is an extremely fine photographer and his specialty is wildlife. He knows several deer in Cades Cove by name having photographed them for four years. He calls this one Curly because his antlers are deformed. If you enlarge this shot, you can see that his reemerging antlers are already oddly shaped. Curly and the two does he stays with and their yearlings now recognize Dick and are not afraid of him. He has sat in the grass with them as they lay about eating six or eight feet away. Friday we walked slowly to where they were bedded down and stood for maybe 15 minutes no more than fifteen feet away as he spoke softly to them. There with Curly were his two does and two yearlings and it was amazing to be that close to them without any sign of their fear. Check out Dick's photos of Curly from last year when his rack was grown out. See: http://www.pbase.com/richardr/curly_and_friends
