was standing by a hedgerow looking to my left at some pheasants. I turned to my right to look up the field and a deer was behind me.
I am currently watching over a field with 2 does, 2 pairs of twin kids and a buck at various times. It's the rut so lots to see!

Bannack is a ghost town in Beaverhead County, Montana, United States, located on Grasshopper Creek, approximately 11 miles (18 km) upstream from where Grasshopper Creek joins with the Beaverhead River south of Dillon.
Founded in 1862 and named after the local Bannock Indians, it was the site of a major gold discovery in 1862, and served as the capital of Montana Territory briefly in 1864, until the capital was moved to Virginia City. Bannack continued as a mining town, though with a dwindling population. The last residents left in the 1970s.
Built by William Roe in 1866, it was the first frame house built in Bannack.
Very interesting behaviour from this male roe deer. He kept knocking over and snapping plants with his antlers to lick at the stump. It was clearly very tasty!

About
Our most common native deer, Roe Deer tend to be solitary in summer, but can form small, loose groups in winter. The males have relatively short antlers, typically with six points. They begin to grow their antlers in November, shedding the velvet from them in the spring. By Summer, they are ready for the rutting season. After mating, they shed their antlers in October and begin to grow a new set. Roe Deer live in areas of mixed countryside, with farmland, grassland, heathland and woodland.
How to identify
A slender, medium-sized deer with short antlers and no tail. Roe Deer are mostly brown in colour, turning reddish in the summer and darker grey in the winter. They have a paler, buff patch around the rump.
Where to find it
Found in Scotland and northern England. Scarce in Wales, the Midlands and southern England. Absent from Northern Ireland.
Taken at the roe deer hunting premiere. Only males and after seeing about 5 females and no male I thought I'd capture this 6th female on camera as a good memory of an unsuccessful but eventful hunt. Distance is about 7 meters
