New Gardener

Took a trip to Eastern Oregon. This guy was busy trimming the landscaping along with his family of doe and two youngsters. Thought that a bit unusual to have him with the others. This is outside our condo in early AM.

That's a funny coincidence, Jim.  I just watched a doe walking away from our apple trees.  This is a beautiful buck and the situation fits the theme perfectly.  Well seen and photographed.

Man, that's a big buck!  He's so perfect looking that my first thought was that it was a statue...  As I watch the Mule deer at our Montana home, I do see some mixed groups of male, female and young, so it seem like the muley's aren't as strickly segregated as Whitetails.  This is a good look at this guy with the bright green lawn and the red bit adding some extra color pop.

It is unusual to have the bucks hang around with their  family. I guess we should be glad we only have a single doe and single fawn!
Great catch!
