Cades Cove White Tailed Buck with antlers mostly gone.

These are the last photographs of this buck. His antlers were so interesting to me.

You can check out antler information at http://www.buckmasters.com/bm/Resources/Articles/tabid/135/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/1172/Antler-Growth-and-Formations.aspx

As I have said before, the deer at Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park are not afraid of people. Just not allowed to touch them.

I actually got between the buck and doe,

because I did not know the buck was behind me to begin with.

From the last photograph you can see how well they blend with the environment around them, which makes it hard to see them sometimes.

Buck following his doe at Cades Cove

This buck was following the 2nd doe in this previous post.He stood very still, as if to say I could photograph him all day.
Although he didn't move during all of these photos, I am posting several because I was moving around and the antlers are showing differently due to the light.

I have never see the antlers at this stage, so it was very interesting to me.

Actually can see blood.

This link http://www.buckmasters.com/bm/Resources/Articles/tabid/135/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/1172/Antler-Growth-and-Formations.aspx has information about deer antlers.

I have some more photographs of this same buck I will also be posting.

Cades Cove in Smoky Mountains

All 3 photographs were taken this past Tuesday at the entrance into Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We had some snow the night before, but not very much.

White Tailed Deer in Cades Cove

Like a polite deer should, she closed her mouth for the 2nd photo.

The last 2 are a different deer, and she actally turned around for me.

These were very close too. Just another indication of the tameness of the deer in Cades Cove. Also, you can see we got a tease of a snow. Nothing to write home about.
