Deer chase!

[kgd]

Well it was just a morning walk with the dogs, but I managed to run into at least 3 different herds this morning which is unusual when I have my dogs with me. Hope you enjoy the shots - note none of them are me effectively sneaking up on them - just can't do it with my two mutts at my side.

This is the trail we picked up first thing....

It was loaded with telltale sign

The first one we flushed

We got lucky with these guys

Time for a break

Great pics! It's a rare treat to see deer in my local hills, and I've never seen that many together. Great gear shots too.

After over $2000 damage to my truck in early March from one that jumped infront of me in a curve, I hate them. I never used to mind seeing them but now I have a far different opinion.

The population is out of control in my state and they are showing up in a lot of residential and even commercial areas in town now.

They have become like rats with longer legs...but, they do make better jerky and trail bologna than rats!

I will do my share this fall to eliminate as many as I may legally tag!

Some nice photography there!

Northern New Jersey is suburban and crowded, cut up by the densest highway system in the country. We have a small boating lake in town, enclosed by not much more than a narrow wooded trail around it. Deer all the time. I've come across them standing there staring at me. I've seen them just coming off a multi-lane highway, not even running fast.

We're not supposed to have dogs in the park, but a lot of people walk them here anyway. Doesn't keep the deer out.
