Silently...

peering through the hoar frost covered bush the buck held his glance for what seemed likes minutes. Quietly and slowly I tried to find a better position to focus through the bush at the buck. Had it not been for a coyote running across the road I do not think I would have seen this buck. I wondered if there were other coyotes in the area and maybe the buck was hiding from them and not me. He did not seem alarmed that I was there, minutes later moving a bit deeper into the bush.
