Confusing

March can be a confusing time for those who watch deer. The oldest stags are often, but not always, the first to lose antlers. But instinctively we assume that the older ones are those with them and that those without are younger. Most of the group on the southern slopes of Blacka Hill had fairly simple antlers while one or two had none at all. There seemed little to choose between them in body size.
