I was quite surprised at how much fun I had out turkey hunting the other evening. We drove up to "Secret Creek" (funny how all the places he takes me seem to be called that...) There were a huge amount of deer and elk on the way up. This top picture is just so pretty, you should click on it and enlarge it. Mule deer always look so shocked and surprised, and their huge ears are revolving like radar screens.

We had no idea what this girl was doing, you just don't ever see deer doing this. Steven says she must have just been in the process of stepping over the stump when she saw us and she stopped to make sure we weren't a predator. I prefer to think she is a sentinal of sorts, maybe warning the turkeys.

One little elk, racing off to find the rest of his herd.
