Profile of a small, but aggressive buck by dcstep, on Flickr

There was another, much bigger, white-tail buck busily marking his territory when this guy came literally storming in chasing a doe. The big guy did a white-tail retreat and this guy immediately crapped where the other guy had marked.

^^^^^

From the little guys antlers, it seems that they may have previously met!

Yeah, no doubt, this guy's a fighter.

You know, they also break their antlers off on trees. A friend and I were watching this and I think that they sometimes try to "adjust" their antlers to something that feels good to them. Unfortunately, occasionally one knocks off a whole side and he's screwed for the season.

The September/October floods in Colorado had most of this wood under water for at least a couple of weeks and some of our biggest bucks moved out of the park for drier ground (we think, since the rangers haven't found evidence of pouching). This has been a great opportunity of the young bucks to claim the remaining doe when they otherwise might not have had a chance.

Given that your excellent photo appears to show a recent break of his left G3 tine and the time of year, the missing tine was probably due to a bar room brawl over breeding rights to some attractive and hopefully (his hope, not mine) receptive doe.

She wasn't receptive while I was there, but he's wasn't letting her out of his sight or smell for hell or high water.

I finally figured out something to do with some oranges from my tree. Fresh zest make these orange chocolate-drop cookies really pop.

You're killing me with these cookie shots at night, Ed. Now I'm going to bed with an urge for a cookie.

Nice oven also.

I would have tried f/16 to see if that first row could be sharpened up a little more.

Thanks Dave! I love my oven

F11 is a great idea. I shot this handheld the other night, and the shutter speed was creeping down in my dark kitchen, but I will probably have the tripod out again when I do a mega batch of baking in the next couple of weeks. (cookies are my main gift I send out to friends and family afar).

Sorry Mark, I wish I could send the taste over the net

I brought these to work today and they were gone before the end of my coffee break. Seems the ladies in my office really like the combination of orange and chocolate.

IRide · 11-26-2013, 06:43 AM

Ed, put me down as another with cookie lust!

As for bringing everything into focus you could give this a try, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk8vxMA3p-o.

I love Orange Pims. A Brit shortbread cookie with chocolate coating and orange jelly inside. Makes a great combo.
