The Buck in the Yard

Noah wanted me to share this photo he took of a nice buck out in the pasture the other day.  (You all know that Noah did not have a good hunting season this year:  he didn't take a single animal).  There is still hope, however, elk season has been extended till the end of January due to the extraordinarily poor hunting season this year coupled with an increase in brucelosis in the elk herds...so keep your finger crossed for him.

Here's another shot of the same buck jumping the fence a few minutes later.  Nice action shot considering this was taken with a telephoto lens & no tripod:
