you have taken some absolutly superb pictures. do you use a hide for your deer shots? or like me relly on bush craft and camo clothing.
i have tracked and watched deer for many years and have only recently started photographing them. I have just invested around £300 on "Deerhunter" clothing in "Advantage Timber" patern after many years using surplus Nato paterns and the benifits are worth every penny. a pair of Roe almost tripped over me a few weeks back, I could have litteraly grabbed the Buck by his leg as he manouvered around me.

Hi Kev, thanks for the kind words
Same as you mate, camo and fieldcraft 99% of the time. I`ve not tried the advantage camo. The main thing i`ve found with Deer is to cover your head with a hat or hood,(and sometimes face, with a net) as they seem very adept at picking out the human form. Had a similar experience a few weeks ago - had a Roe within 15ft, it knew something wasnt right, and continually sniffed the air and stamped its feet in disgust at not being able to find the source of the noise (my camera shutter)
Would love to see some of your Deer shots if you can upload some....
