White Tail Deer

Photo taken through the window of the car so not the best photo but the closest shot of a deer I have. I was out birding and he appeared walking down the road and then went into brush stopping for a moment for a pose. It was hunting season and the only thing that probably saved this guy was that he only had one rack.

o:) Amazing you managed to take this under your circumstances, Debra, and even more surprising to find a single-racked Deer!!! Super post!!! :t: :t: :t:
 
Your right..He might've got passed over with only one antler.
With this economy though, it may not be long before the "sportsmen" part goes out the window...
And it's meat becomes all important.
Thanks for sharing your close encounterB :)

Lucky deer. Hope with this economy, the "sportsman" (as mentioned by Howard) would save their bullet money for a burger!
 
Thank you both, glad you enjoyed. Was a surprise to me, at first he had his head turned in such a way that I didn't know he just had one rack. Thought WOW, nice rack! Then he turned and I saw the one, which may had been good as talked about. Thanks for your replies. :)
