I saw this guy come from the back yard and pass by the window near my computer so I grabbed the camera and caught him walking through our front yard. All year we see deer frolicking in the woods, usually in packs or as a family unit. But in the fall the males get right down to business. They grow their antlers all year to use in battle with other males while trying to breed with the females. The gentle deer become possessed and are transformed in the line of duty. We watched a head to head butting battle last year with two males and it is a wild ritual. In another few weeks when the mating season ends the males will be trying to knock those damn things of their heads.
