From Today

He is bigger than yesterdays buck and he is hanging out with the ladies however the rutt has not begun as of yet and the big stud bucks have not shown up yet to kick the wannabe's out.

His body size is nice and his neck is starting to fill out.
I estimate his weight at approx 200-220lbs.:rambo

Nice of him to let me take some snaps of him.

Great pics:thumb Where you able to get pretty close or did you use some long glass?

EricMy rifle is coming out the last week in November:): . However I will not be hunting these deer.
These Mule deer tolerate humans they are urbanized. I shoot a F2.8 200L

and mostof these shots are not crops so many times I am 20 feet away and often have to step back to get the full animal in frame. I move slow and quiet and they do not spook. If I get nervous or hurried they do sense it and increase distance.
I avoid eye contact they do not like eye contact at all.
Cheers and thanks for looking and commenting
