A cautious approach ...

A smaller six-point buck cautiously emerges from the shadows of the Oklahoma Cross Timbers to approach a scrape being worked by a couple of larger bucks. Whitetails have relatively small ranges and are familiar with other bucks in the area. They pretty much have a pecking order in place. And this immature buck knows his place. Testosterone is raging inside him, too, and he wants to work the scrape and even breed a doe. But, not likely to happen. Not this fall anyway.

 

Our beautiful world, pass it on.
