He is quite healthy and buff! A 10-point buck as they say, and he has a beautiful set of antlers.
Those antlers got to rubbing on one of my little trees and pulled it enough to make it lean now, and broke off a branch. They are beautiful animals, but I give up trying to grow anything around here. Sure, they are healthy - they ate all my green beans this summer!
I come from a family of deer hunting men. Next week, my husband, dad, brother, uncles and nephews are all on their annual 10-day hunt in Wisconsin. Mom comes to stay, and we shop, eat out, hit the quilt stores, work on projects and eat out some more. I am exhausted from work and ready to enjoy the time off and do some tatting and sewing for a change.
It always cracks me up to see the most beautiful bucks right in our own backyard as the men in my family are preparing for their hunting expedition at the cabin. I just 'shoot' them with my camera. If I can :)
