My Deer Buddies Visit Again

(1)



(2)

These guys like to mow my driveway for me this time of year. Just wish they did a more thorough job.


There were two younger ones with the buck. I figured the two younger ones were from last year's crop of fawn's.

Nice profile of his rack.






(5)
I don't know much about deer behavior. Do the young males of last season only hang out with the older males from the season before them once they leave Mom?







(6)
I make a move inside and he looks up.




(7)

What's caught Junior's attention? See the other young one up above him in the folage?



(8)
Has he spotted a new arrival?




(9) Ah, ha! Another buck of equivalent age!



(10)

They had one little very minor altercation but I think they already knew each other. They continued to graze together for another 10 minutes. There was a fourth one---a second young one----but he was off in the side yard.

No sparring in this shot. They were just grazing very close together.





(15) Antlers are still very fuzzy. My rodedendrum are the worse for their attempts to rub it off!
