Utah Bob #35998 15,861 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 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. 15 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Utah Bob #35998 15,861 Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 It was nice of him to pose. Fella seems to fancy himself quite a bit. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

J-BAR #18287 6,002 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nearest white tails are over in Disappointment Valley, about 50 miles northeast from here. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J-BAR #18287 6,002 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 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. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
