I was traveling down along the central coast of Kalifornia last weekend when I spotted this buck out in the open a long ways from any thick cover during mid-day hours. The rut is just winding down and this guy was out fooling around. Forked horns are the norm in this area so this one is a great buck for this area. Season closed in Sept. This was within view of the Pacific ocean.
Feeling nervous............(note his ears)
What's Up?................
I'm outta here!!.............
