On my first trip to Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge<\/span><\/a> I was delighted to take a series of photos of a White-tailed Deer buck in velvet crossing a gravel road.<\/p>\n

White-tailed deer are not found in Utah, so I was very happy to see this deer species while I was visiting the refuge with my good friend and fellow photographer, Steve Creek<\/span><\/a>. In my opinion, White-tailed Deer are smaller and slightly daintier than the Mule Deer I am used to seeing here in Utah.<\/p>\n

But this White-tailed Deer buck looked gorgeous to my eyes as he crossed the road in front of Steve’s pickup. I had hopped out of the pickup, and I used the door as a mobile blind. That worked well because the young buck appeared comfortable as I photographed him.<\/p>\n

As the buck slowly crossed the gravel road, I was able to get a clear view of his velvet-covered, stubby antlers and his hooves. I appreciated how the golden light made his summer coat glow.<\/p>\n

Once the buck crossed the road he turned towards where I stood behind Steve’s pickup door and headed towards the tall Johnson grasses. As he kept moving towards me I decided to zoom in a bit.<\/p>\n

So that I could take this frame-filling image before the buck disappeared into the thick Johnson’s grass. I’m happy with all of the photos I took of this young White-tailed Deer<\/span><\/a> buck.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
