The Rut is On

 This buck crossed the road just in front of me a few days ago...


When he entered the field, he stopped and searched with his nose and his eyes...



It didn't take long to figure out what he was looking for...




At this time of year the bucks are frantically searching for a doe to breed...


Soon, the object of his search stood up...



As usual the buck closed in on the doe...


she was not ready yet, so she left, and he followed her out of sight.

Thanks for visiting, be well, and come back soon.
