This is a buck that's been coming in to feed by our house every fall/winter for the last 5 years. We usually start feeding the deer in the early fall and feed throughout the hard winter months.
We call this buck the "Tall Buck" because of his incredibly long tines on his horns. The first year he came in (2007) his horns didn't have much mass and he liked to fight, so he broke almost all the tines off. The second year he came in, he was missing his left eye----He had apparently lost it in a fight with another buck. Another neat thing about this buck is he has a double throat patch(most bucks just have a single white patch along the top of their neck, under their chin).
He is very recognizable with that one eye and double throat patch! (I never knew deer had recognizable traits until we started feeding them.)
We always enjoy seeing these bucks come back year after year, so we can take pictures and see how they've grown from the year before.
All these deer are "free ranging" deer---there is 7 wire fence around these pastures by our house, but the deer either go over it or under it.
Here's a collage of the "Tall Buck"........Thanks for looking!
