My son and a couple of neighbors have been telling me of a large buck and some other really good bucks the past few days. I knew that sooner or later the deer would find their way to my pond below the house. It happened this morning at daylight. Six bucks came out to drink and eat willow shoots and several does and fawns also came to drink.
One buck stood out from all the rest, a magnificent stag with antlers at least 24 to 28 inches wide, maybe wider. The antlers were also very tall. We have been feeding these deer corn and mineral blocks (at considerable cost) for over ten years now. It is a great day to watch them spar and kick up their heels and play in the water. Some of them are still in velvet. Some came up to the backyard to graze. I hope the bucks will come closer tomorrow. It's a great show.
