The red mist will be coming soon to the Red deer as rutting season gets underway.

I took the opportunity to get up close, while the Red deer are in a good mood.

It may not be a good idea to get so close to them in the coming weeks

The Red Deer Stag can be very menacing if it stops and gives you long stare

I took a few shots and decided to retreat to a safe distance.

I will be back when the rutting starts.
