@MamaWick Those bucks are something else! All they need are guitars and a drum set.🤣. I'll bet they would make beautiful music.

Is that Lumpy eating from your hand?🥕🥕🥕

Woofs and hugs to Miss Willow White who is enjoying her belly rubs. What a doll! 🥰

Woofs and love to sweet Cricket in heaven. 💕🌈

ETA. Correction of buck's name.

The first photo of the Bucks gave me a big smile, their arrival to the Wick Haven announced!!!!! They look confident and proud and happy to be heading toward a great meal!!!! That photo is wonderful!!!!!

Miss Willow White is being pampered in her royal red blanket, always treated with so much love and care by the Wicks!!!! The day is tranquil filled with nature and as always acts of kindness!

@luvzchiz I think that deer's name was Lumpy, not Bumpy.

@KatieB Yep, me thinks you are correct. I haven't had my coffee yet. 😁

Although this buck by any name would still be magestic. ( with a nod to Shakespeare.)

Holy cow! It will be in interesting rut with all those big full racks. It's cool to see the close up of the velvet and how fuzzy it is. Thanks for the great pics. And of course.....the miss W

Those are some proud Bucks with their beautiful antlers.They know where to come for a snack. And, Willow, are you getting that belly/chin rub? The Buck in the 1st picture has a design to his antlers. He is the one in the front.

@MamaWick A few questions: Are the antlers always velvety? Does the velvet mean anything special when it is on the antlers?

Re: DEER Thursday 08/25/2022

MamaWick — Thu, 25 Aug 2022 18:52:58 GMT

The velvet is there during the new growth. Soon, they will be rubbing the velvet off (and it will be bloody since the velvet is quite vascular). One the velvet is all gone, the antlers will be quite hard. Those are the antlers that will be shed in February/March and the growth phase will start again.

I'm always so amazed at the size of the huge antlers on the boys! Also makes me wonder if they are uncomfortable or it's just a thing they are used to.

And look at precious Miss Willow - all comfy and getting a belly rub! My kitty Bella loves belly rubs!
