Light of Dusk: Mule Deer Buck Close-Up
Rocky Mountain Front Range, Colorado, Sunset
This buck passes through our back area pretty routinely. It appears to have been the dominant buck in our small local herd in recent years. Now it is sporting an impressive, actively-growing velvety rack yet again.
Two years ago, it dropped one of its antlers near our back door. A "gift!" It weighed 3.5 lbs (1.58 kg).
So, I imagine it will be carrying a pair of antlers that will weigh ~7.0 lbs (~3.18 kg). again. That will be just in time for rut beginning in September.
