Deer at Madigan State Park
Image by jpmatth
there was an article about madigan state park near lincoln in the latest issue of Outdoor Illinois. part of it said the deer herd wasn't shy of humans and that many photographers go there for that reason.
they weren't kidding. this almost felt like cheating. i saw, from the car, maybe 5 deer grazing in a wooded area near the road. took some pics from the driver's seat (not these), then parked and walked back. as soon as i stepped off the road and into the woods, all the deer i hadn't seen sprang up and closed ranks. the herd was maybe 15-20 in all, and i was about 200 ft away.
