Sometimes the Columbia Blacktail Deer will have a "late birth" of fawns. This was one of those cases, and it was surprising to see these fairly young fawns last week. This was taken right at the start of a long hike, so
was a nice introduction for me!
Lens: Tamron SP 70-210

Yes, they allow humans to come pretty close...they stay motionless for the most part, and I
think that they feel they are camouflaged to some extent.
I was close enough here that I think I only needed about 150mm of "reach" with the Tammie.

Thanks Bob! It was pretty much "point and shoot" with these willing subjects.

Yes! I know what you mean. And I am not "against" hunters, especially if the population is out of control. Venison is very good meat to eat, that's for sure. I could never bring myself to shoot one myself though.

Well, the adult deer are not tolerant of people. I think it's just an instinct for the fawns to "stay put". I'm sure that the mother was not too far away.

Over here the deer population is fairly tightly controlled and the various estates that have a deer population have specified quotas of stags and hinds for hunting/cull purposes.
Fawns will normally stay put and also very still and rely on their camouflage and the available cover as it's movement that can be the killer, but chances are that had you attempted to get closer, they'd possibly have bolted. |

Late yesterday afternoon I saw a fawn come out in the pasture about 100 yards from the house. I told Maxwell so he could watch it out the window. As we were watching its mother joined it. The fawn started hopping around, then ran into the woods, then came back out running right at its mother and then hopped around a little more. Its fun to watch the little ones play.
My 70-200 was setting right there with my camera, but dumb me, I went for my 500 and they were gone when I got back. Poor Maxwell stayed in the window for a hour and a half staring after they left.

Hey Ron. I LOVE it when those fawns are jumping around like that. Did you get any at all with the 500? And yeah...the light was low, and the forest was pretty dark. I guess I could have bumped up the contrast and brightness a little, but I liked to see this the way it really WAS to my eye.

I LOVE that Red Deer image. I was blown away by the sharpness and just plain BEAUTY from the Taylor Hobson! Here's what you do DSG - you mail me the Taylor Hobson (make sure it fits an M42 mount) and I'll use it for the rest of my life trying to nail down a deer or fawn image with it....
