Sambar Deer

It was a fine and misty morning while we drove around the forest hoping to catch some Tiger activity. We drove along 'Kamarpatta', A hilly and dense forest road where I was once charged at by a male Tiger but will discuss that in a different story as this picture here is just to share the beauty of this adult stag who was rubbing his antlers against a tree in a hope to shed his horns. I hope you enjoy my pictures and appreciate the  beauty of these fine animals.
