Roe Deer in the Snow!

[FrenchieBoy]

I was out the other day having a walk through the snow on a few of my permissions to see what Game, Vermin, Pests, Poachers, etc: were moving about when I came across these Roe Deer. Fortunately I had my camera with me and got these shots from distances ranging from 25 yards to about 75 yards. Not the highest quality photos but it was pleasing to see them so close up!

These three are just a small portion of the herd that ranges over four of my permissions all, most of these permissions border on to each other. These Roe here are all in quite good condition and the herd is growing well each year. This is one of the permissions/areas that I am asking for the .243 variation for. With the herd growing each year we will soon be having to think about a the possibility of a management plan! For the time being though I feel priveledged to have them settling on my permissions as photographing them gives me a lot of pleasure! I must admit that the Buck has stood offering me a perfect broadside shot on many occasions.
