Deer lick

Photographer Mike Farmer said this is the second eight-point buck he'd seen in his yard in as many days. "They seem to have a one-track mind this time of year," Farmer said. We think the buck is just happy Farmer was shooting with his camera, not a rifle. Reports from last weekend's deer hunting opener were sparse, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources reported. It was just too hot for the deer or hunters to be moving much. That could change this weekend.
