Interesting shoot today. Several whitetail bucks chasing the females, but also a couple of pairs of coyotes hunting the deer. Notice the coyote stalking in the upper background of this shot. Picture taken October 13 2025, Calgary. #Calgary #Alberta #nature #wildlife #photography

Had one goal today, to get some decent whitetail fawn shots. Raining, and the mosquitos were eating me alive, but I suffer for my craft. Goal achieved :) Picture taken July 20 2025, Calgary. #Calgary #Alberta #nature #wildlife
