He ran back and forth along the fence a couple times and then jumped over the barbed wire fence. I estimate it's about a seven foot leap for this guy.
He left a little fur on the wire:
Welcome to Today at the AHATS Wildlife Observation Area (formerly TCAAP Wildlife Viewing Area.) I've been visiting this small park regularly since 2008. This is a log of all the wildlife and nature I experience nearly every day.

Today at the TCAAP WVA, I saw a Buck Leaping
I made it out to the TCAAP Wildlife Viewing Area for sunrise this morning. For the first half hour, there wasn't much going on. I could heard eastern bluebirds, song sparrows and American robins but they didn't get close enough for a shot. I was getting ready to leave when this buck got up. What you can't see in these shots is that he had a bloody mouth. I'm not sure why. I heard his antlers hit the fence so perhaps he scratched his mouth against the sharp fence. I examined all my shots and didn't see any wounds anywhere else on him.
He ran back and forth along the fence a couple times and then jumped over the barbed wire fence. I estimate it's about a seven foot leap for this guy.
