Oh, come to my back yard! We had 7 of them trotting blithely through the other day. Though I don't think any of them had a rack of antlers like the one in your photo. Nice photo!

Thanks, Zuska! This was actually at a friend's home near PA. There were about five other deer in the yard, including a few males, which is why this male is giving a threat display. The light was horrible (it was late into the sunset) but I still got a few pictures.
