1903_0889 Mule Deer
Early one morning at Newton Lake, I came around a corner and surprised about 30 Mule Deer, a mixed herd of does and yearlings, that were grazing the sagebrush flats. They must have felt trapped between the lake and my car; they prefer the safety of the hills on the other side of the road. Within a few seconds they were on the run, leaping and bounding to get away. I just shot from my car window. Mule Deer are the most common large mammal in these parts, so they aren't really high on my shoot list, but I know that I'm spoiled. Great light, great action, no complaints!
