Stupidity

OK people lets laugh at ourselves. This morning I was out shooting, using non-automatic settings. This deer steps out to the river. He is in velvet, and what looks like a budding 3 or 4 point western count (we in the west have only count one side). I panic (not wanting to miss the shot) turn camera on, and switch to "autostupid" push the shutter release to focus the camera the flash pops up with a loud click, push the button all the way down to take the picture and while "autostupid" is thinking the deer around. giving me a blurry picture. push button again and get picture of deer with head in brush. pictures attached

Having read these tales of woe ask me why I don't like auto everything cameras (as you put it; autostupid)!!!!! The bad part is that even when they can be used on manual focus it is highly imprecise and inconvenient.
