Just a series of deer for this session.
Nap time:
Locals call these cactus bucks as they never shed the velvet. Plumbing seemed to be there, but had no visible scrotum when viewed from the rear.
A 4 by 3 that hung around the camp vicinity.
A 4 by that ran the same ground. This and the buck in the prior pic put on about a 10 minute battle with the 4 by 3 as the victor. Unfortunately, it was around 9:30 in the evening and pitch black outside. Got the flashlights out and watched the whole event. Antlers were locked up for most of the duration and we had thoughts of finding them dead the next morning. Eventually got separated, however, with the 4 by vacating the area and rounding up some more does over in the next drainage.
Same 4 by just a different view.
Another pic on a slightly brighter day. Unfortunately we're often blessed with Oregon's eternal winter gray.
and once again crossing the river.
Will kick out a little variety tomorrow,
