Take a look at the racks on this baby

Perhaps this is the one who charged me 

I told myself not to post any more pictures of black-tailed deer, at least not for a while, but I saw this guy on the way home from work yesterday.  I slammed on my brakes, and motioned for the frowning woman behind me to go around.  She stayed where she was, but scowled.  By the time I raised the camera, it appeared to me the buck was lowering his head into fighting position. I could feel his animosity. In fact, he  looked like the very one that charged me (Deadly Velvet Weapons) a few years ago.  I stomped on the gas, much to the delight of the woman behind me.

Black-tailed Buck

On my way to work yesterday, I had to stop for this buck, who was standing in the middle of the road.  He stared at me while I reached down to the floor of my car, scooped up my camera case, unzipped it, slid out the camera, and turned it on.  As soon as I brought it up to focus on him, he turned his...ah...black tail toward me, and walked away.

Do you suppose that is his opinion of my desire to put him on my blog?
