Mack, put that focus zone indicator RIGHT on that line between dark deer head and white space behind it
and you will get a better result. Easy to say from HERE, you admit it was a snapshot, but the camera is dumb,
it wants to focus on that ridge behind the deer. You have to force it to focus on the CONTRAST of light
and dark and be good enough in vision (I'm not) to determine if it DID IT or not.

OR you could do like I do (badly) and simply manually focus everything. I have to make myself use
AF when I can, I just forget, as most of my good lenses are MF only. But the more you shoot, the more you
mess up, succeed, learn, etc. I am digging the slice of life you are sharing with us.
