I've been sharing a lot of mornings with the white tailed deer during this mid summer season. The males have there antlers all grown out and the velvet coating is fun to see. The mature males, are starting to get more cautious of people and are starting to develop more hormones that will get them into a mating frenzy come October and November.
Luckily the females and younger males are still pretty tolerant of photographers. They are easily spooked by movement, but when you remain still and respectful of 'there space', they can be curious and want to see what you are up to.
When you find a nice summer landscape to photograph the deer, it can be a very rewarding experience to share a morning with the largest mammal in my back yard of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
