the neighborhood deer.

he was hit in the hay field 4 yrs ago and survived.

last year he was a 4 point.
this year hes a nice 8. i dont know if he'll survive another year even with the collar.

we saw hin again this evening and i finally had my camera with me so i snapped a few pics.

it was neat to see him. hes kind of became the neighborhood deer.

Once he gets close to the rut, I would stay away from him. He might be unpredictable.

Or you could cut his antlers off. I've heard that calms pen raised buck deer down considerably.

i wouldnt let the the kids near him anywhere close to the rut.

we saw him last year with 2 does runnin off another buck so who knows what hed do to a kid.

the kids do like seeing him, so do i for that matter.
hes a beutiful animal and its nice to see him up close.

theyve been thinkin bout paintin some orange on him so maybe he wont get shot.

last year u heard a week into deer season he was put in a stallion stall at a local farm till season went out cause some guys had taken a couple shots at him.

hes a lot bigger now than he was then but i know hes little compared to some of the bucks ya'll got.
