Survivors

The head buck behind the barn has been very secretive this year and I have seen him on only one other occasion. Yesterday he showed his face long enough that I shot some pictures, enough to see that he is an 8-pointer. He was ninety yards out, and he noticed that I had slid the door open to take his picture. He did not hang around.

I am glad he make it through the gun seasons; next year his rack should really be magnificent.

This little guy heard the shutter sound effects at fifty yards, turned, and strutted away very indignantly. He needs to be a bit more shy to survive next year when he grows better antlers.
