I went through the files this evening and found one I shot at a higher film speed (1600).
Early and overcast around 7:30am.
F/4, 1/1000th, Canon 300mm f/2.8 lens.

Great captured action. Love how the light is highlighting the whiskers. Too bad the doe is cut off but still a neat image.

Hey Howard,
Nice action shot and nice "advertorial"! Technically this image looks good - clearly the AF system of that camera works well!
What you captured here makes me wonder a little about the nature of the interaction - e.g., was this doe the subject of the aggression or was there another deer (out of the frame) that the aggression was directed at? what was the outcome. All pure curiosity on my part...
Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

Hi Brad - There was no other deer out of frame, the aggressive behavior is directed at the doe you see here..They regularly "spar", but what I usually see is the female dominant in a group.
Just like humans, it's good let them think they're in charge anyway.
It usually works out better that way

I like his airborne pose and the detail shows off the camera nicely.
