youngster on hormone rush

Whilst reviewing my last foray with the deer herds, on many occasions I noticed the Flehmen response.  (Normally, I wear camouflage clothing just to give me that few extra yards before they become agitated, and also to keep me warm and dry).  

THIS I HAVE TO SHARE.  so hilarious.  males when they are in the rutting season, will often curl their upper lip in the Flehmen pose,.  There lies a gland: (deer have seven that we know, maybe more).  The Vomeronasal gland is normally used to determine the reproductive condition of females.  Usually by introducing urine onto the gland.  (many other species do likewise).

My friends, I swear to you there are no romantic aspirations between this fella and me!!!!   However, in life, we do know a few youngsters that have early hormone rushes!!   don't we just love our children.  

Techs were a Nikon D800 and 500 AF-S II lens.  (mounted on a Gitzo 1548 and Wimberley.).
