… and any of us, and winters, cougars, vehicles, barbed wire fences, and a hundred other hazards in the world of deer!  What a survivor.  I hope he passed on his genes. 

Thanks as always for the photos, Bone.

I think he might be on the chopping block today as a Cal Contender.  Im pretty sure I have filmed him before.  I think he was one of the fog bucks.  I was going to try to find it today.

Looks like an old warrior

I can relate to this buck in the morning.  Looks like he needs a shot of coffee.   :chuckle:

He really does look old, and tired!

 Interesting as we seldom get to look at how they really look without the efforts of some just fantastic photographers on this site!! THANK YOU Bone, and ALL the others that capture these amazing photos and share them with us!!
