Friends, this is a male Whitetail deer in July, his antlers are growing and covered with a vascular tissue that promotes the bone growth.  They hide in the very dense brush and only the black flies drive them from their cover to the water. They can be seen this time of year taking a swim to wash off the pesky flies.  I wish the flies would go away now so I can again travel in Crex with my windows down.  Thank goodness for air conditioning for our temps have exceeded 100 degrees F for the last week.  Well back to work, til Tomorrow MJ
