However did you get them to group for the perfect photo???!!!! lollll Usually, there just seems to be one or two lookouts. This is just terrific! #1183510Jan Dolfing September 22, 2009
Getting this whole group into one image is only possible during the rutting season, in which the big male deer keeps as many females together, fighting over them with other males who try to steal the ladies away. This male (you can see his antlers if you look carefully) was very strong and had this big herd collected, with a lot of females and there youngsters. So this is why there are so many on the image.Greetings from Holland, Jan #7971965
