Wild Game Photos

[Harv]

According to his recent post, WVBill is going to favor us with some pictures of deer in his yard. I find myself looking forward to seeing them, and got to wondering if others of you have similar pictures to share?

Maybe it's 'cuz I'm still a suburban boy that I enjoy my trips to the property where I know if I go for even a short walk I'll run into deer, ducks, geese, rabbits, etc. Some of you have related some interesting stories of various critters, like moose, running about your places. I think we would all enjoy any of them you may have caught on film ... or pixels. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

I'm sifting through my own pictures and I'm disappointed that I've photographed so little of what I've seen (that wasn't orange /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif). On my last trip I was walking the back of the property to check out my culverts when I looked up the bank towards my neighbor's house and saw that I was being watched. Not as good a shot as I would have liked, but I call the attached picture "The Buck Stopped Here". /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

When you say "Not a good shot" do you mean composition or
that your too close to the house for a shot? /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

We're all in this together! (3)

The deer let us live here as long as we pay the mortgage.
Seems fair...

Well, this gives me a reason to take photos of all them animals by the house. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

We have deer, ducks and wild turkey around here all the time. As for photos, not sure how exciting a shot of my freezer would be.

Harv,
By the looks he's a young 8 pointer and knows the area well,and I bet he got a girl friend near by. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

If you want to have some fun and get some good pictures, {and its no danger to the wildlife at all} put up 12"x 48" mirror or so than zoom in w/a camcorder...you"ll get to laughing plus there will be tender moments.

Pete -

I forgot about the turkeys -- we get herds of them passing through all the time. Kinda stringy, ugly cusses. You telling me they're good eatin'?

Still looking through old pictures. Attached is a picture of a little guy I found while digging up the daffodils. Anybody know what he's called?

I think that's a Western Skink. When the run your first reaction is that they are a snake.

Yep, just checked. It's a Western Skink. We've got bunches of these around our place. Here's some more info on him:
