We had to belly crawl past them to reach our glassing point further down the ridge, in doing so successfully those two deer stayed in their gully feeding until dark with us only a couple of hundred metres away the whole time.

Most of the animals I photographed were 400m plus, mainly because we didn't want to upset any of them in fear of spooking a mature stag that may have been in the vicinity.

By staying well away and out of sight of the small groups, and letting them do their thing, a more wise mature animal is far more likely to show it self if one is around.
