The deer started coming in earlier this year, including several Bucks new to us. Some aren't very mature, but their antlers indicate more age. This appears to be the buck in velvet in the prior picture taken Aug 28th.

This four point has been coming with the five point for a while now.

The deer have been around at least twice a day, but I haven't taken many pictures being preoccupied with the upcoming election.

We only saw this little one a couple of times.

This guy is much larger and more muscular, with wide spread antlers. I would say he is more mature, even though he doesn't have many points.

This eight point surely looks similar and behaves exactly the same. He seemed to be very familiar and comfortable with our yard, has the same dark markings above and below his mouth, and didn't take off when he saw me in the window. Here is one of the pictures I took of Spikey in 2005 and a link to the original http://www.pbase.com/image/52047476 Many other pictures of Spikey can be seen in those galleries.
