Thank you very much. This particular photo of the deer I took with my Canon and a 300 mm lens. I am still learning my 500 mm lens, which would have been too much at this distance. I have a tub of water for them to drink because there is very little surface water this time of the year. I can take the photograph just out my back door. Yesterday I had two that were 20 paces away. I took a photo through my window. Tomorrow's post should contain a couple more fantastic deer photos.

I always make a note in the post of it is taken by my game camera. A game camera is attached to a tree and when an animal walks by it takes pictures by motion sensor. Night shot are based on infrared.
