Description
The Columbian black-tailed deer, aka coastal black-tailed, scientific name Odocoileus hemionus columbianus was galloping in full speed. I was returning from my hike on Tomales Trail, my D6 with 400mm f/2.8 was on my shoulder, attached on a tripod. I was able to put it down and get the deer in framed before it went too far. Shot at Tomales Point Trail, Point Reyes National Seashore.

Wonderful capture but 'tis a coastal blacktail.

Hi Mike, Yes, it looks like a blacktail deer. Since this was inside the Elk Reserved, I didn't expect a deer there, so I assumed it maybe be a juvenile Elk.
