Critter Cam: Jumping Buck

Chester Moore Jr. The Orange Leader

ORANGE — Reader Sheila Babin submitted this great shot of a whitetail easily clearing a barbed wire fence.

"We made a recent trip to the Hill Country. As usual, we saw plenty of deer," she said. "However, an abundance of bucks were on the move. When we stopped to get a few photos this one didn't hang around long."

Whitetail deer are among America's most agile creatures and are able to clear fence much taller than this one when pressured.

To submit photos for the Critter Cam project, e-mail them to cmoore-outdoors@yahoo.com. Put "Critter Cam" in the subject line.
