I was driving on a busy highway to my favorite area to look for bucks. I see ahead of me, a buck in the ditch running along a fence line, trying to get in. Luckily, no traffic was approaching him, so I slowed to a crawl and followed. He made his way down a few hundred yards, turned around and ran back the other direction. Still, no traffic. He turned around again a few hundred yards behind me, so I pulled into a driveway, watched for traffic and waited. I was ready to jump out of the car and flag people to slow down if I needed to but I didn't. He came closer, saw my car obstructing his path, then decided to cross the road to safety. Very Lucky Buck! What an impressive rack with 15 tines and one extremely exhausted fellow.

Oh my he is "Impressive". Very beautiful deer with a great rack of antlers! Wonderful photos of him and so glad he got across safely.
What an incredible experience you lived! Wow very impressive buck and story. You got splendid shots during this experience ;-) I love your header ;-)
Wow, poor guy! This is why I'm semi-obsessed with road ecology. It's SUCH a huge deal for wildlife and many people don't give it a second thought. Glad he made it and that you basically helped. =)
Great encounter and what an awesome buck, beautiful rack and a swollen neck. He sure is in rut.
These I have to think our one of you favorites but than again I am biased.
