They have eaten all the bushes and such . . . but we love them nonetheless. Anyway this one says hello to all you Cannon shooters out there. And they remind you to only take pictures, lol.

RJSorensen THREAD STARTER Goldmember 1,706 posts Joined Sep 2004 Location: Near Tin Cup, Wyoming, USA More info | Feb 04, 2005 06:43 | #5 How close was I when I took this? I had to back the lens off quite a bit . . . so fifteen to twenty feet or so once I cracked the back door open. They grazed on the shrubs and the treats we left them. They don't expend any energy they need not in the winter. With our deep snow times are a bit tough for them. It is against the law for us to 'feed' them as common citizens, but a bale of grass hay often falls off of my truck from time to time and they always manage to 'chew' on it before I can get back to pick it up. As I have noted in other threads they (State Wildlife Division) are running a couple of emergency feeding stations on the other side of the valley to help the deer make it to at least March.

Even the Moose I located this week, I was able to get to within fifty feet or less . . . and as long as I moved slow and did and did not threaten her, she was fine. I don't/won't stress animals for a photograph. That perfect stance is not worth it to me. I can always come back and take my chances then. To 'scare' them or make them expend precious energy this time of year for a 'shot' is just not good or them. Hats off to you mate. Wildlife needs people like you. Damian Waters
