Budding buck

 

A deer’s antlers are regrown each year. They start in the spring as buds and grow quickly to full size in about four months. This morning’s white-tailed buck shows only a few day’s growth. Indeed, the growth is about the same as that of a moose posted eleven months ago.

    Needs to work on his beard.
    Or pose for someone who doesn’t capture such detail.
