I bet he's the big guy i have pictures of from this summer. I was roofing a house out there by the jetty and made it a requirement to have an extra long lunch break to go around and take pictures of deer.

I got some bruisers on my phone. But can't figure out how to post them

I just went through my pics. I have 5 of those bucks in velvet. Especially the big 4x4 with eyeguards
