Late last month, I photographed this weary White-tailed Deer doe at the edge of a road in Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge<\/span><\/a>, Oklahoma. She was being chased.<\/p>\n

\"White-tailedWhite-tailed Deer doe being chased to the edge of the road \u2013 Canon R7, f7.1, 1\/4000, ISO 1600, +0.7 V, Canon 100-400mm at 263mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

The White-tailed Deer rut was still ongoing, and that day I saw several bucks chasing a few does at the refuge. This doe and another one crossed the road, and both looked a bit tired.<\/p>\n

Bucks expend a lot of energy during the rut, chasing females and fighting for the right to breed with them. Does, on the other hand, use a lot of energy trying to get away when they aren’t ready to breed.<\/p>\n

It has to be exhausting for the bucks and the does during the rut.<\/p>\n

Hopefully now that the deer hunts are finished at the refuge, the deer will be a bit more at ease. The rut should be about finished now too.<\/p>\n

I enjoy seeing the deer at the refuge and it is still a change for me to see White-tailed Deer and not the Mule Deer I was used to seeing out in Utah. The White-tailed Deer simply look a bit daintier to me and their ears are much smaller!<\/p>\n

It is especially wonderful to add more White-tailed Deer photos to my galleries!<\/p>\n

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