Buck with velvet at Cades Cove by

I found this young buck in Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountains National Park… right next to the road.

Canon 20D, Canon 70-200 f/2.8 IS, braced against the truck window (sitting inside).

Featured twice in America’s National Parks and Wildlife Habitat.

    Jan, he was next to the road, not the least bit worried about anyone.
