Young Bucks



It is probably safe to say that for every doe born, a buck is also brought into the world. However, for the swarms of doe that will grace our walks and bike rides on the many trails behind our home, bucks, even young ones, are fairly rare to find.

Today, two young boys were quietly searching for food. They weren't too happy to see me, as the picture may indicate, but they did hang around for a reasonable amount of time in the darkness of the thick trees as the sun was fading.

My guess is, as the baby fuzz disappears from the antlers, so will their calmness to folks like me who gawk over their existence. Fortunately I was able to take a soft shot of these two.
