These photos were taken by a trail cameras of two different bucks in two different locations on December 26 and January 5 respectively.  Both these boy deer are sporting their headgear.

I suspect that this may be about to change and before too long my girls and I are going to begin our end of winter chores such as pruning an occasional oak and cleaning out nest boxes for the birds that will return in a few months.  That also means an opportunity for the dogs to engage in the time-honored pursuit of shed antler hunting.
