Stags in the Sun


This group of stags were lying out on a sunny knoll this afternoon. The older, bigger ones have already cast their antlers and new ones are regrowing. A couple of younger stags are still holding on to their antlers from last year. For this sort period, the bigger stags have to be careful around their younger counterparts as at this time of year, they are at a competitive disadvantage. However, there is little to be competitive about just now, the younger ones will soon lose their antlers as well, and the big boys will be back in charge.
