A healthy looking Buck, mid-summer, 2012, displaying his new velvet-covered antlers. The Buck is still often seen to be licking the location of the exit wound as per top image.
In the bottom image, the alert Buck is laying down in the grass. The location of the entrance wound can still be seen by the white line in his summer coat, just below the spine. Note, how much thinner the neck is, compared to images of him taken during the fall rutting season. Click "previous" to see him with a large neck and in his darker and coarser Fall coat.
Next posting to be of The Boss seemingly bonding with a young Buckie, possibly his son.
