Majesty Put to Rest

I saw this buck in velvet in August.

 

My husband killed a buck on the first day of muzzle loader season, October 31. He says it is the same deer. Looking at the photos, I suppose it is.

Rest in peace, forest prince. (I always like them better alive.)

Hungry Deer

The deep snows and the lack of melting has forced the deer to do a lot of hunting for food. They spent much time under our blue spruce and at the side of the house where the snow had melted yesterday.

Yesterday's Visitors

Albino or Piebald Deer

I snagged these shots of a grey-white deer around 11:30 a.m. this morning as it passed through the field. The camera kept wanting to fog over from the cold so I had a difficult time getting a clear photo.

That last shot really shows how grey-white the deer is.

I Could Spit and Hit

This little buck is in my front yard, just outside my office window. I swear I could open the window and spit on him, he's that close!

Game Camera Capture

Like A Statue

The buck, standing about 50 yards away, spotted me when I slipped around the corner of the house to get these shots. We stood there eyeing one another for several minutes.

I stood still as a statue, except for my finger clicking the camera and occasional adjustment of the tripod. Slow movements from me.

Eventually, he stamped a hoof at me, to try to get me to move. I stayed steady. Unnerved, he turned and moved back into the trees, though he did not lift his tail in that flag of warning. Instead he simply crossed over the hill, out of sight.

The doe behind him never saw me.
