Dear Deer

As I shared earlier, we've been seeing a male deer on occasion, but not often.  The females come regularly, probably an average of 4-5 nights a week.  The male, not so often - maybe once every couple of weeks.
And then, in February, we started seeing.... well, I'll let you see for yourselves:


If you look closely, you will notice that there is a male at the right feeder in addition to the male at the left.

Here is another view of the biggest one we've seen:


Then, there is this one, of interest:



We've been calling him "1Ant".  The next day, we looked around in the yard and around the trees hoping we'd see where the other antler had been shed, but to no avail.

It's exciting!  Usually, the males come in the middle of the night, but sometimes it is 9 pm or so when the females are there.  

It will be interesting to note when they stop coming.
