deer & firewood



 deer kissing






Here are some photos of the many deer I see on a daily basis. In a few photos, you can see the male (buck) deer getting their brand new antlers, covered in velvet. For those who don't know, deer shed their antlers every year. Shed, meaning, they fall off and every year they bigger, thicker, stronger with more points. There, I just taught you something. While we're at it. The difference between antlers and horns is, horns don't fall off (shed), they keep growing and is made of densely matted hair. Antlers fall off (shed) every year after the rut (mating season). There.
