Description This young whitetail buck stood and watched as I took his picture. There was a doe just to his right and they were wary of me but not too afraid. I took a few shots and slowly walked past not looking directly at them and they just stood there and watched me go on by.

That they are. Last week I saw a doe with white twins that were about half grown. That was the first white ones I've ever seen and I hope to get a good picture of them soon. It'll just be luck if I do though.

I passed a small herd of about 7 on the side of the parkway this morning.. I was hoping they didnt venture into the traffic...they often do

Yes they do. One ran across a fairly busy road in front of me recently. Luckily there were no cars close, it was running at top speed when it crossed the road.
