This handsome fellow was chasing does in the backyard last night around dusk. I live in the PNW on the strait of Juan de Fuca.

Bambino...he's doing good he actually limps on it sometimes...but usually holds it up still ...but getting around pretty good .always a good day when I get to see him and his little nubs

She is perfectly fine btw. She woke up shortly after I stopped filming.

1.) It is the rut season here in New England - is this the rubbing I hear so much about?

2.) How lucky am I that this thing did not destroy that camera an inch above his antlers?

Video taken early morning in the Herefordshire/Shropshire area - recently moved here and wondered what these noises were until I spotted this! Often hear these noises at night. Local area is a mix of woodland, open fields and dense bracken.

Also came across what looked like a small family of deer on the lane the other night but not quick enough to take a picture - medium/large size, reddish coat and white tails.

Would be very interested to know who this fine gentleman is - from looking online I'm wondering if it's a Sika or Fallow?
