    Grandson saw these on his food plot camera this week. There are two deer here raising up a buck and a doe. We've seen them but never raise their hoofs this high.

    Speaking of deer standing on their hind legs. Never seen a deer stick its hoofs this high into the air. First thoughts were "I raise a hallelujah"... 😁 Note this is two different deer a buck and a doe.
