Blacktail Buck in Tall Grass

This is one of two Columbia blacktail bucks I saw at Point Reyes yesterday. They were feeding in this tall grass.  It’s just a matter of time until this lush grass dies and turns brown.  I’m not sure how his ear got split, but I’m assuming it got caught between his horn and that of another while fighting.  Ouch.  His coat has changed, or is changing, into the darker summer color.
