February 9 2021. Hamilton County, Ohio. Sunny, 36F, 2C.

Came across this group of deer and initially only saw the does and yearling. After watching them a bit, I noticed the buck standing further back in the woods. He was aware of me but not overly concerned and after eyeing me over, went about foraging with the other deer. This was the first time I had seen a live buck this close. Usually I see the does and sadly, most bucks I’ve seen were roadkill.
