There are still quite a few deer out there. The males antlers are starting to grow out, they are feeding all of the time. I have been trying to get close to them and I have but, the ticks are insane! Friday after work I thought I would walk through a field were I had seen some deer grazing, on the south side of Broadway, west of the dog park. There was an old trail were the grass was low and I walked for about 10 minutes until I got close, one buck actually started to approach me out of curiosity. then I turned back, I don't want to stress them at all. I actually like non stressed natural photos. So I was out there for about 45 minutes and Michele and Nick had went up southward from the hydro tower and back approx. 10 minutes. when we were all got back at the car we found a tick on Michele, we just brushed that one off. later we went home and I had some work I wanted to do fixing my fence and by the time I had come in I needed to go to bed and totally forgot to check for ticks, we were so tired. And wow the next day I had one on my back and one on my stomach and she had one on her back and on her leg, I had to remove them with tweezers. Nick had none. We both started taking antibiotics that day, I'd rather not wait for the flu like symptoms they say to wait for before going to a hospital and they prescribe antibiotics anyway for Lyme Disease. That night before going to bed I thought I would check the bed, so I went through all the sheets and sure thing I found one. That's the price you pay for not doing a tick check when getting home and I knew this. But I never said wildlife photography was easy either. The next couple of days I just stayed on the road like before. It's alittle more diffacult with all the vegatation, getting a clear shot.
