They have been seen at other times of the day
but usually, they just pass through in the early morning.
There could be three or four, or two, or maybe even one
like this morning, but that was unusual. Or was it?
He seemed older than his antlers suggested.
Big of frame and body, but small in the rack.

in the hopes of bagging a bigger deer with more points.
Still, he lingered like the wary hunted ever vigilant.
He passed through our yard to the open lots and vanished in the woods.
