Oh my!!!  The antlers are starting to come back.   They are about the size of golf balls.

Such great pics. I never  saw a deer close up with their antlers growing in. Thanks for sharing.

What wonderful pictures of the bucks with their start of their antler growths!  It doesn't seem long ago they were shedding the antlers which makes me marvel once again at nature and its miracles.  

 

Aside from being so kind and caring , Mama Wick, you also educate some of us who through your photos give  insight into the deer's changes.  It is a trip through nature's gifts!!!!!!

How interesting to see the beginnings of the antlers! I would never have guessed they would look all smooth and rounded like that.

Now that is something I have never seen!

I wonder if it hurts them like when a baby's teeth and molars are coming in.

They still look so sweet and that they are all being polite today.

This one looks like they are definitely having a conversation-who gets this carrot?😊
