Location
ON ONE OF MANY BACK COUNTRY ROADS WE HAVE HERE IN MARION COUNTY FLA. IT'S HEAVILY WOODED ON BOTH SIDES WITH ABOUT 50 FEET THAT THE COUNTY MOWS ABOUT 3 TIMES A YEAR. DEER SOMETIMES GRAZE THESE AREAS IN LATE A.M. I HAD BEEN THERE MANY TIMES HOPING TO CATCH A SHOT BUT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WAS GETTING IN POSITION TO SHOOT WITHOUT SPOOKING THEM. THIS YOUNG DOE THREW HER HEAD UP WHEN I GOT ONE FOOT OUT MY CAR AND WAS GONE AS MY CAMERA CLICKED .Time
