I think that this is a much better picture of the buck from the previous two images. He is laying in the shade of a pine tree, just enjoying the day. Out of range of this picture is the doe, along with another buck, two more does, and the turkeys.
These are just some of the deer around here. There are about 30 in the herd, though it varies a little from year to year. Most of the does around here have twins each year and though a large number of them don’t live long enough to become adults, enough survive to make up for the losses to the does and bucks in the herd, so the number remains fairly constant.
Welcome to rural life in Montana!
Wow, Really nice.I like this animal.
Lovely photos of these animals
Thank you. I enjoy watching them. This buck is very well fed, too.
Great shot of this one relaxing. They do seem to be safe.
Yes, they have that air of indifference that makes it obvious that they aren’t concerned at all.
Lovely animals. Love seeing them. Great photos.
Thank you. Truth is that scarcely a day goes by that we don’t see deer in the yard or walking down the road in front of the house.
