Murph is a mid-sized deer about the same size and age as George. He has a dark patch on his forehead just below his antlers and a narrow head. He is slim and strong.
He is interested in people and he has no problem making direct eye contact, but he keeps a safe distance away from us. Sometimes he hangs out with Max and Mike (two of the leaders) away from the herd. He showed some aggression towards other deer in the spring, but lately he stands his ground only when challenged and won't be spooked easily. In the herd hierarchy, he seems to be in the middle and okay with his place.
We named him to honour Don, his Dad and the Murphy spirit.
