It's well into Spring, almost Summer and male deer are beginning to regrow their new sets of antlers.
Perhaps that's why the males are beginning to let their presence known again (and are not so sheepish).
Only time will tell how large each set of antlers will grow and how many points will appear. In the meantime, velvet covers those new additions and with the lush vegetation to feast on, pounds and bulk are probably next on the agenda. All for preparation for the autumn and impressing the ladies.
