Nature Big Buck !!

Big Buck !! · 06:58 PM

Out in the semi-wild: this buck is kept, along a few female counterparts, in a large and fenced domain where they roam freely.
I went along with the owner of the property and we just sat there waiting for the herd to come in ... for at least an hour and a half.
The big buck came first, inspecting and sniffing around for "intruders". I was cautioned NOT to try to get too close because it is "rut" time; this specimen is surprisingly large and I admit having been a bit scared even if we were hiding behind some bush which was itself separated with a fence.
Nonetheless, these are not-so-wild shots, yet lucky to be at the right place at the right time.

Nice shots, especially the first one. He doesn't look to happy to see you.

The buck was actually approaching the females which were a few hundreds yards away.
I guess he wasn't too impressed seeing me there !

Thanks daacon.

Certainly is one proud animal indeed.
I just can't get over the fact that they also get hunted ... to each his own passion. I'd rather see them standing up alive.

Cheers.
