An eight point whitetail deer buck in the woods during the rut. Long tines on the antlers and a swollen neck. He was cruising the woods recently while looking for does. In this photo he actually has spotted a couple does that were nearby. The lighting is tricky in the woods as most of it is in shadow with scattered patches of sunlight. I had been watching this buck as he approached and was fortunate to be in range when he stepped into a sunbeam and stopped. The darker woods behind him offer a nice contrast to his well-lit head.
