Blue Eyed Deer
I started hunting with my husband three years ago. I didn’t get a deer the first year, last year I got 2 does and a small fork. This year has been really tough, it has been warm and windy a lot and very little snow. I went out Sat. after Thanksgiving and got this three point, my biggest deer yet..The deer had the brightes blue eyes I have ever seen on any animal. A falsh was used when the picture was taken, otherwise there was no photo editing or alteration of any kind. Any one else ever see a blue eyed deer?
