Blacktail Buck

Decided to take a break from photos of Yellowstone and post some from around our home, this of a Blacktail Buck that has taken up residence in our back yard. He has been there several nights and more often during the day. We noticed an injury on his rear hindquarter and think he may have been hit by a car. It is hunting season but the wound does not appear to be the result of a gunshot. He seems otherwise okay. The Columbia Blacktail Deer is a small subspecies of Mule Deer and is very common in our area. This is the kind of deer we hit with our car some weeks ago.
