Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Before I had my morning Joe, I spotted some morning doe out in the yard. 5 of em and a little buck. Then about 100 yards out, I saw the Big Boy. Couldn't get a decent shot through the wintry window so I snuck out the back door as quite as I could and as the doe moved off he actually came closer to pose. Thanks, Buck.

J-BAR #18287 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 A fitting mascot for the Lazy Bob ranch. May he propagate those genes widely. Frame his portrait over your fireplace and salute him daily with the beverage of choice. You are a lucky cowboy, Bob, and that magnificent buck is lucky to have your sanctuary.

Bob, if I'm not mistaken, that's a whitetail. I'm looking at the tines branching only off the main beam and the white patch on the neck. I mention it because mule deer rule the roost as far as deer species in Colorado. I know we have whitetail and some hunting licenses are good only for whitetail, but they are far less common and a *LOT* more skittish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearest white tails are over in Disappointment Valley, about 50 miles northeast from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I agree that he is a mule deer, based on the way his antlers “Y” off the main beam. But his classification is irrelevant; he is a magnificent animal, a breath taking resident of the Lazy Bob Ranch. May he and Bob and Carol enjoy looking at each other for many years to come.
