Came up on a nice Buck this morning while riding the commuter trail which runs adjacent to a heavily traveled 4-lane. He was probably a 12-pointer from what I could tell in the dusky light. The big deer was staring at traffic, wondering if he should chance a crossing to get after some does in the forest across the road, I suspect.

He spooked as I approached, turned around and hopped over the fence dividing civilian life from a large Air Force base. Watching him not only ponder the traffic but also make an escape was pretty cool. Majestic beast.
