[Leica] IMG: A couple of bucks

[lrzeitlin at gmail.com (Lawrence Zeitlin)]

Our recent very heavy acorn fall has attracted deer and other woodland
creatures to the free lunch. One 8 point buck has posted our yard as his
private property.  While he apparently welcomes any does, he chases away
would be rival males.


Here is the 8 point buck.

The buck patrols the yard and patio, chasing away all potential rivals. So
far he hasn't taken any aggressive action toward us.

He did chase a rival smaller buck away. I was not quick enough to catch the
actual confrontation but I did get the retreat.

This lovely senorita is welcome.

When the hunting season starts in a few weeks, all will vanish into the deep
woods until spring.
