It is the rutting season here and the deer are going nuts. I've seen three does go *running* across the street this morning and I just watched a 10 pt buck follow a doe on a rather circuitous route through our backyard. I swear she was trying to get him stuck in the scrub oak, but it didn't work. Then after they went past, a little buck with only three points on one antler (I guess the other one fell off) went by sort of sniffing the snow and looking sad.
