How I Got This Shot: So I planned to arrive at Cades Cove by 7:45 on this particular morning. I was not upset that my efforts were thwarted by this Fella!!! Captured at the Oconaluftee Visitors Center around 7:30 AM. This was after I spent about 45 minutes with a young Buck which I also got great shots of !! See more on my facebook page and stop by as I have Novembers GIVEAWAY going on now until this weekend !
