Some of the deer that come to visit...

Dwayne was out with his long lens on the camera and got some pretty neat pictures of the deer feeding in the alfalfa over near Ricky and Kendra's place.
You may be able to see antlers on the one to the right. This is before they got into the alfalfa, I think.

Now they are enjoying the alfalfa...

It looks like they are chest deep in the alfalfa, but really the field curves over a hill so they are just beyond the hill.

Ricky came in the drive which caught nearly everyone's attention!
At this point in the year, the antlers are covered in velvet.
I found this article from the National Park Service about the difference between antlers and horns and the shedding of antlers: https://www.nps.gov/yell/learn/kidsyouth/ahdiff.htm
