That Buck

A few hunting enthusiasts have asked about that big buck that I have been talking about this summer.  Well so far that big buck is sticking around the area.  I continue to get lots of pictures of the buck, as well as many other nice "shooter" size bucks.  I am not sure what it is about this buck but it sure is a nice looking deer.  Despite having a very nice set of antlers the deer body looks small compared to his "rack".  Maybe it is the large rack compared to the small body that makes it attractive, some would say this is true in other species also.

Typically deer in our area have much larger bodies and smaller racks but this one appears to be a different story.  I believe that is why this buck has such nice looking features.  The MN archery season is now under way and hopefully this guy sticks around.  It would be really nice to see what he will look like next year should he survive the season.  Although, that would require me passing on him if I see him, which would be very hard to do at this point.
