We are over-populated with deer here in Tennessee. You can’t walk through the woods now without getting covered with tiny deer ticks.
I suppose it is like that all over the south. I was thinking recently about all the changes in animal population since I was a kid here in the 60s. We have much more deer, more foxes and coyotes. We have fewer rabbits, however...at least where I live near Memphis. And we now have some animals we never had before including fire ants and armadillos. Oh yes – and mountain lions spotted in northwest, Tennessee.
Coyotes, originally a desert animal, now range all the way to Maine.
It is theorized that they spread because of the extinction of wolves.
At first glance, the left antler of that deer looks like a mule deer antler with the forked configuration.
Or an AR 47? Possibly an AK 15. Both definitely Glock. At least if the MSM is reporting.
How these antlers happen

One year, hubby shot a massive “spike” buck that had only one, ridiculously long antler.
I said he was a unicorn and should have been spared but almost 150 pounds of meat was hard to turn down.
