For the past few evenings at Dusk we have a herd of about 8 doe in our yard being lead by a "big boy" with at least 10 points on his antlers in a big spread!!
I feel like I'm in a Disney movie!
Ok what is wrong with this? ...well to start..... our whitetails shed antlers between the end of Big game season Dec 10th and Christmas! I have never in all my years seen an antlered deer after Christmas ( which is our flintlock season!)
Now the next thing: I have never seen a "Buck" leading a herd of doe at this time of year!
It is a unique sight!
I tried boosting the speed of my Nikon camera and shooting open aperture tonight but it is just too dark!
The other evening I was picking up my outdoor kitty dishes and I spooked them and the buck ran right up the hill "to me" and stopped 30 feet away stomped his foot and the rest of the herd followed and ran up the top of the hill for safety and when he was satisfied he snorted and continued up the hill to group with them! I'm telling you it is like a Walt Disney production! I have never seen anthing like this but I'm loving it!
