A Wise Ole Buck!

(Photo taken in Oct of 2010 in the mountains of east Tennessee)
If you are going to photograph nature and wildlife, you better be quick to get the shot because often times, you don't get a second chance. I snapped this shot of a nice mature whitetail buck before he went behind a slope and out of site! As bucks get older they get wise to the ways of man and usally become more nocturnal, choosing to move and feed in the relative safety of darkness.   

"I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday."
Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) : 16th American President
