Camera Critters #27

Thought I'd post a bit smaller hoofed animal today and used a Pennsylvania white tailed deer. It amazes me how every hunting season, some Yahoo will shoot a bull elk (you've seen how massive those things are) and claim they thought it was a deer. Said Yahoo will still lose his license, gun and the elk as well as get a MASSIVE fine, but it still happens. Always drives me crazy to see.

If you want to join the in the fun, stop over at Camera Critters homepage and learn all about it.

What a beautiful shot of a gentle creature. Those eyes are amazing.

Yes, what a beautiful photo Gretchen ! And a nice text with it...
"Parfois, il y a une biche qui vient sur ma pelouse, mais je n'arrive pas à la photographier..."
Have a good day !
Those Yahoos! What were they thinking... ? Even I can tell the difference between a deer & an elk, and the closes elk is probably two states away.
Happy Weekend.
She's so beautiful and peaceful
Beautiful photo!
I lived in a rural farming town in Ct. and every few years some city twit would shoot a Jersey cow and claim they thought it was a deer.
Gretchen: What a neat shot of the resting deer. There is no way someone can think an Elk is a deer. They must be shooting at movement. that is the way people get shot.
Gorgeous picture.
lovely shot of a beautiful animal. Hubby is into hunting....but I am not. It all makes me a bit sad.
An excellent capture, Gretchen. One of my favorite animals. I would have to say that it would be a toss up between deer and elk as to my favorite species to pursue with the camera.
As you say, it is unbelievable that someone mistakes an elk for a deer!
Beautiful shot :)
Hi Gretchen! What a cutie. Not that I know that much about deer or elk for that matter, but one could never mistake an elk for a deer. It seems like a small price to pay for their actions. What morons. Lisa
So very beautiful! What is more lovely than a deer?
very pretty shot!
White-tail Deer does look very much like the Mule Deer doe here. However, it's easy to tell the difference in the bucks. 8v)
I love their eyes!
It's adorable so cute and Bambi looking.Thanks for stopping by.
What a great shot of the deer! There is nothing more beautiful nor peaceful than a sweet deer! Great CC post!
So cute and cuddly!
I played too :)
I love to look at deer but I can't stand them when they eat my flowers and bushes.
I see deer everyday but I never get tired of seeing them. Beautiful creatures.
Nice shot!
Great photo of a beautiful deer.
Beautiful!!! Deer are beautiful animals!
Have you been hanging out in my backyard taking pictures?
I just love these guys!
Great shot.
It's a gentle looking creature. It's sad how beautiful creatures perish in the hands of hunters.
This is such a lovely picture of such a sweet , gentle creature.
Pretty deer! No way, idiots really do that? I guess they think they'll get away with it. :(
never tire of seeing them sandy
Beautiful deer. I don't know how hunters can do what they do. Great picture!
This is a gorgeous photo of one of my favorite animals (second only to dogs, of course).
