Mammals Red deer mating time

[Szychor]

So finally red deers mating season started, so i went on a foggy day to forest in search for some roaring males. First day was unlucky because i could hear some but they were deep in forest hiding in bushes. But the next day was lucky day and i went on small clearing in forst and hide in small bush and waited. After 15 mins of sitting there he was , emerged from fog calling loudly
That canon 100-500L lens is on edge of quality in such conditions, glad that i could do decent images on 5000 ISO, day before i had to crank the hell to 12000 ISO but for me R8 at that setting is bit noisy.
If someone have own images form mating time feel free to post it here

Ooh these are great. The fog and the foreground and background elements enhance the sense of place and of distance, and make for some very moody images. Well done!
