Nice one, I have a rule which is, always expect to see something when you least expect it, in other words if you drop your guard, one's going to be there. I have shot many deer as they are taking off...

Some nice pics there mate, thanks for sharing. I think you may have mis labelled one though. It says Kaimais, but there is at least ten meters of visibility, so it must be somewhere else ;)
