Tis TM 8 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 So there I was this avo, talking to my aunty about my 2 yo filly, leaning on the fence and feeding the filly some carrots.... We were chatting away and she said, "oh you got a goat now too?" ... "No" I said, so she asked, "Well whats that then?" ..... Down the bottom of the paddock behind the electric tape was a deer... After I stopped myself squeeling I managed to run back to the house to get the camera, and snap these few shots... It wasn't easy, having a horse nudging and biting my elbow at the same time as trying to focus, and if I'd had a better zoom lens these could have been cracking.... He did come out through the fence to oblige a few nicer shots infront the wire too, before Lana coosed him out her paddock What sort of deer is too please? Hehe, sorry there's so many, but ths is only about the 4th time I've ever seen a wild deer, and it was a very special moment Quote Link to post Share on other sites
