October 2022 Deer - Note that pails of water are the bait because of our drought still.
I know it's Nov 2nd, but the fog makes these videos real neat to watch.

These doe are put here for my grandson (3) as he likes a variety of mommy/daddy/grandma/grandpa/sister/brother deer.
Counting the points (meaning tines that are sharp on the end) is tough, give it a try, as I think you'll find some interesting situations below, like a buck with 4 points on one side but 6 points on the other (thus a 10 point buck) and another that is a 12 point buck.

8 point buck on Sept 11, 2022 has already eaten bread from that metal pan but there are fire ants on the bread.

Below video shows how far along a buck's antlers are in late July. Containers have water in them, during our long record hot draught.
My grandson (2 yrs old) loves the deer photos the most so here is one still eating the mineral block in late April.
Doe & Buck Our buck kept their antlers way into March which is unusual. Note in February they were losing their winter fur compared to winter.
