Buddy got his name because back in May he was constantly at George's side and that's how we could identify him. He had then and still has more white than George on his legs and lower body.
Sometime in June as each deer began to grow in size, Buddy became more shy of people and less likely to hang out with us, or with George who took up with EG.
We think he is one of the most handsome looking deer. His antlers are symmetrical and at the inside corner of his expressive eyes, he has white teardrops.
As antlers have hardened and the herd has spread itself out on the reserve, Buddy is getting to know us again and coming in close for photos.
