They do meat up during the rut, don't they?

Nice shots.

Seems to be changing to summer coat. I wouldn't even recognize him if it weren't for a distinctive tear on an ear.

Great pictorial contrast. I'm a fan of dark fall colors but I have seen some magnificent summer coated deer. Thanks for the post. It'd be interesting to photograph him every month for a year.

I had the same question but after your response I can see the ear damage in the second and third pics.
Cool pictures, thanks.

Here is a better look at that ear (before and after). In the first shot he has already broken off his left G2.
