A whitetail deer buck standing on a grassy ridge.

Spotting the photographer, but unsure if danger is present, this monster whitetail buck holds his head high and uses his nose for secondary confirmation. Notice the heavy neck, palmed beams and forked G2s on this big rutting buck. In addition to sporting huge antlers, body size of this whitetail buck is massive. 300 pounds may be an underestimate.
