I saw a doe in the local forest, close to where I live. I guess it was about 30 meters away. It was aware of me, but didn't seem too concerned. I've seen this one before, I recognize the broken antlers. Shot with Sony A7IV + Tamron 150-500mm lens

Edit: just learned that when it's a male, it's a buck, not a doe. Learning something every day! English is not my mother tongue.

I prefer hunting with the camera. Then I can "shoot" without killing 😄. Also, I'm not sure hunters are allowed to hunt in that forest.

Buck?

Ah yes, I think it is. I'm not a native English speaker, only just now learned that a doe is only female 😅
