With deer hunting in full swing many of the older smarter bucks are finding refuge in various places around the county. While returning from Two Harbors Karla and I stopped at Split Rock Lighthouse State Park to look for deer. Typically a doe is seen first. Keep watching because 90% of the time there will be a buck following close behind. In the background of this photo there is a ten-point buck.

After circling around the doe the buck allowed me to get a little closer for a better shot. When the doe moved the buck moved otherwise he didn’t seem to pay much attention to me. He must have been fighting with another buck as one of his points was broken off.

Closer to home this eight pointer crossed the road in front of us. He had been running from something because he had icicles hanging from his mouth and seemed pretty tired. It could have been wolves that had been chasing him.
