Wow. Your first one is like 'I am da boofy-tails Ov Deth! Feeers!'

Lacking a long lens, I doubt I'll do better at this time of year than this one from a couple of months ago: young lassie that got friendly before the predators came through:

I don't know if I like the first or last one better...All are excellent shots.

Thanks everyone!

I've found that you can get pretty close to them if you have patience. Watch from a distance. Slowly inch your way forward without making any sudden moves. Everytime they stop to look at you, you stop as well. Wait for them to go back to what they were doing, and then inch your way a little closer. Continue doing this and I got within 3 feet of a couple of them and they acted like I wasn't even there.

Having corn helps too.

Really nice! They look 3D to me, especially the last one.
Nice work.

I can think of a couple of captions for that last one.

The first one has caption possibilities as well.

Great series, Brian - these are exceptionally well done.
