A little bump for this thread... Haven´t been too active neither with the game nor the forum lately.

Here´s a few fox cubs from last summer captured at my work. They were quite shy but also certain curiosity was pretty clear, checking the two legged monster from behind the weeds an stuff. Their nest was in a huge pile of stumps. First time I noticed them they had a clue about me before I realized there´s these little creatures. They ran away and hid around the field. After that I was more careful on my approaches, started sneaking from a good distance. The weather at the time was quite hot, so there was a couple of times I managed to get pretty close to the cubs that were sunbathing around the stumps. Hiding behind available obstacles so that they could only see my head/hand/camera did the trick. The camera shutter made them a little curious but as I wasn´t too scary to them from my hideouts, they just continued their sleep.

One time I caught them playing with each other. The biggest cub was quite a bully pushing others down and biting the smallest cubs tail :D The biggest cub was doing even longer expeditions around it´s home but still a human was too much as it did quite a run back home after noticing me one day. The speed was so much that when it started to slow down close to the pile of stumps it just fell down and was sliding on it´s side for a while, poor thing...

A few whitetails from the last summer as well. Shot these at quite late hours, happy for the lighter summer nights.

Thanks Dyeuz, I find the same picture to be one of my favorites too. The situation started with both sleeping, the other just reacted to the noise of the camera for a while and continued the naps.
