Harkening back to the end of November and a fun morning I spent with this handsome fellow. The rut was in full swing and he was raring to go. There were a couple of does in the area he was courting and he ensured they didn’t stray too far. Here, he paused to keep an eye on a nearby competitor, letting the interloper know he was aware of his presence. The golden light of sunrise really lit things up beautifully.
