Checkin the Regs

Early morning today found this buck seemingly checking the regs at the local nature reserve. Three elements for the challenge are the deer, the habitat, and the posted regulations for the area. Do they pertain to the deer? He'll gladly leave footprints but he doesn't make any promises about not taking the tasty acorns on the ground here.

Comical shot, Peter. :smile: It looks like he is just double checking to make sure this is a safe place to be! Nice comp of your three elements.

Really interesting that you caught this uncommon circumstance. Well done and your interpretation of the theme is as I felt it was intended. I thought it was just me.
