First Buck Without Velvet

[Old Dude]

He looks like he has been scraping away, judging from the polished antlers.



Wasn't much at the wetlands this morning except a flock of wood ducks



and this little Eastern Phoebe reading up on cattails



Fall is near! Thanks for looking.

Yeah, he is probably already tenderized. He was with 4 or 5 does

Yes, beautiful rack for sure!

He was standing there with one of the does and just watched as I stopped the vehicle, rolled the passenger window down and snapped away. I think archery season starts tomorrow, so he better wise up!

Nice encounter. I almost hit one last night on the road.

Love those wood ducks. I caught a baby wood duck in the irrigation ditch one time, raised him up. Sure was a pretty bird, but never got like a tame ducks. Soon as he could fly he was gone.
