Camera Critters: Guarding the Kingdom

A mature Whitetail Buck stands at attention like a sovereign of old watching over his realm.

I love spending time in the field watching and photographing whitetails during the rut.

The buck’s appearance with their swollen necks and polished antlers are more impressive at this time of year than any other.

Gone are the lazy days of summer spent feeding and fending off biting insects; ahead lay the difficult days of winter when battling snow and finding sufficient food will be their greatest challenge, but now during the rut all of a buck’s time and energy is devoted to siring next years fawn crop.
