    Sure seems like It Is to me. Might even be an ok buck. My brother has a house across the field from the woods I hunt. He put out some beans In some feeders he made In front of his house 40 yards or so. I've played with this picture the last hour or so trying to get an outline of a rack but the program I have doesn't have too many options. The battery's were about dead In his Cuddeback so that's why the picture Isn't very good.

    Edit: Maybe I'm just seeing Imaginary things. ;) When I 1st looked at these pics and posted them I thought the deer on the left had some bone on It. I'm not so sure now that It does have bone.

    Here's the picture with out adding light to It

    I saved it to my pictures and zoomed in and I can't make out a rack on either one Steve. I think it's just a real plump doe.:confused:

    I tried also. No luck. If I had to guess, I would say they might be shed. They both give me the impression of buck at first glance.

    Obviously it is shed if it is, but looking at the heads, they dont look like buck heads to me.

    Man it's hard to tell, but my eyes are saying the deer on the left has an antler on it.
    That or the picture is playing tricks on me

    My computer is showing it very well, I see no rack but the one on the right is very plump :)

    That's what I thought too. The one on the right Is no doubt a doe but that one on the left looks as though he could have some bone up there.

    i looked at it on picture manager and changed color and brightness because i was seeing a horn on the left deer. but i couldn't confirm it, it does look like a horn, but wihtout knowing what the background looks like i can't tell for sure. something is for sure in the place a horn would be in that pic though

    Agreed, and I'm not even looking at the HEAD, look at the rump and shoulders. It's got narrow shoulders and "doe-bearing" hips. Definitely a DOE!!! The one on the Right however is the one that physically would make me question more, but I believe it is likewise......A DOE.

    Honestly Doug, that means nothing here In Minnesota this time of year. The bucks look twice as skinny as the doe's do here In the winter months from all the chasing they did earlier and now with the lack of food and cold ass weather.

    I'm going with a buck for the left one just by judging that hock on the left leg.
