Shot a Deer at Work
They wouldn't let me use my Savage .30-06 so I used my Canon 10D instead 
Here's a doe trying to decide what part of the nice landscaping to eat next.

She's right next to the main cafeteria which is at the main entrance. This is in the middle of the day and I think it's fair to say that the deer here are very tame. There was also a little buck nearby and when the doe got tired of me and walked away, a little fawn jumped out of a bush and followed her. Those images need a little work and I'll upload them in a few days.

Hey, it may not be the prettiest or fanciest rifle on the block, but it is accurate.

Yeah but you can't put a bayonet on the end like you can with one of your Garands.

I can put a bayonet on my M1 Garand but not on my Winchester .30-06. Two of my favorite rifles.

Seems like you're enjoying your 10D. 
Looks like the failure rate on the Canon EOS300D (Digital Rebel) is quite high...shutter failure at 15,000+ pictures, and mirror sticking problems. And my Digital Rebel's flash eject button just broke. Grrrr. Well at least I can still yank the CF card with my fingers. I'm too scared to send the camera in for repairs...with my luck the service center people will use the camera for baseball practice and get their donut-encrusted fingertips all over the mirror and the sensor!
Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him...a super-callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

Dennis and Ron,
Well, the Garand certainly wins in that regard! There's something just so classy about the Garand when it's got a bayonet
Max,
That's too bad about your digital Rebel. With the rate I'm taking pictures, +15,000 doesn't sound too high. Rather terrible that so many are failing around that point.

Depends.
At least put good glass on it. |

Leave it to Jack to panic when he sees a Julie thread.... :p)
Actually around the Santa Cruz mountains here the preferred tool to hunt deer is the Miata. We must have a dozen local Miata pilots run into the darned things.... the forum reports a deer-hit almost monthly.
By the way, where is that Bambi DVD?
