Fatso

Aside from the fact that there are three deer in this short, silent, 15 second video vignette they look fat.

Sure, the deer are now sporting their thick winter coats of hollow guard hairs to shed the elements and retain heat but they look stocky.


And judging from the shorter face and legs one of my neighbors has suggested that the whitetail in the foreground is very likely an early-born 2021 fawn.

And I take some comfort from knowing that if they go into the colder months packing a few extra pounds that will tide them over some of the colder and leaner months between now and spring green-up.
