Description
A second masked whitetail deer buck appears to pop up as if saying hey I want to be in pictures as well. Often before the rut, aka breeding season, the males will run in groups. Shortly the doe, aka females, will go into heat and these good friends will fight to be the one to breed her.

"In West Texas the white-tailed deer is a species that attracts a wide range of opinions. Many deer managers, protective of their prized mule deer herds, resent the “invasion” of the white-tailed deer into areas previously unoccupied by the “lesser species.” Others view the white-tailed deer as an additional source of recreation (hunting, photography, observation, etc.) and/or income. The western Edwards Plateau (Crockett, Terrell, and eastern Pecos counties) is known for its high white-tailed deer numbers, a direct result of intensive predator control associated with the sheep and goat industries. High numbers of deer and livestock, combined with limited precipitation, commonly result in small-bodied, modest-antlered deer. However, on a few properties where animal numbers are kept below carrying capacity, a year of average rainfall can produce some impressive white-tailed bucks."
