100-400 IS Captures deer!

30cm of snow in the past couple of days so I did not think that I'd get a chance to try out the new lens. This young doe was very helpful and did not pay any attention to the fool in the truck :lol:

She's Cute! :D

Hey, the picture changed. What'd you do? Crop it?

In any case, that's a cute doe. Or is it a fawn? Sure has a lot of fur on it, though, huh?

:)

Leo,
Looked at it and decided to crop it. Bad habit of mine is not cropping and leaving stuff that should not be in.
I would have to guess that she is 2 years old. There was a fawn to the left and behind her that I could not get a shot of.
Been very cold up here and the deer have good thick coats right now.
Heading up into the Parks tomorrow for a couple of days. Hopefully the deer are a little more active there.

I'm wondering what Gitzo thinks of this deer you have?

A combination of jealousy and lust. :lol:

Also, Ian, I notice a tendency on your part to photograph animals from the rear. First the squirrel, and now the deer. Only the dog seems lethargic enough for you to get a decent head shot of it. Is this a quality of yours, or of the animals in Canada? :roll: :wink:

ROTFLMAO! I should guessed you'd say something like that. By the way, we need to revive your Hello Kitty 10D. I think it would be an interesting blend to the alrealdy ludicris posts. :)

Ian, what is your take on this one?

I have never had any luck sneaking up on a deer, or a woman for that matter, head on. It might be the presence of the the monsterous white thing hanging around my neck that scares both of them off ( camera lens Tom...camera lens)
Seriously though, every time I ask a person or animal if I can take their picture, the response is " Ahhhh..kis my a**"
Thus, one of the reasons I aquired Gitzo but as you can see, he makes little difference. Too ugly to kiss I guess.
As for the dog, she doesn't really care anymore as long as I don't eat too much of her kibble.

As long as he does not have to share blanket or food he really doesn't care. Not that he has a leg to stand on if I decided to bring her home. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Trivia question:

What is Gitzo's favorite Star Trek episode?

Answer: The Trouble with Triples

I didn't have the heart to tell him it was actually Tribbles.

Ian:
This still doesn't explain why your pooch is so approachable. Hmmm.

She adores her master and I keep her well drugged :lol:

What drugs? I've got a cat. :?

What drugs? I've got a cat. :?

Dog: He loves me, he feeds me, he must be a god!

Cat: He loves me, he feeds me, I must be a god!

Gitzo: Hey, where's my leg??

[dennykyser]

I wonder if I can put one of those lenses on my Hoyt Bow or Remington 270?

[Moses]

I think I'd rather shoot the deer with something other than a camera. The darn things literally decimate my yard and devour everything!

Nice picture though...

[IanD]

What drugs? I've got a cat. :?Tom,
see Scottes just below your post.
Drugs do not work on cats. However a Stanley 16lb sledge can do the trick :lol:
(now every feline lover is going to be on my case :lol: )

Moses,
I am sure that the chap who owns the yard that the deer is having the picnic in is thinking the same thing :lol:
Lucky for the deer that there has not been a hunting season for the past 5 years up on the mountain. They are pretty tame as wild deer go.
