Tigger as a big buck

This is the debate I've been having with myself. Is this Tigger or not? It was a beautiful sunset! Since this, all our snow is gone!
I could tell it was him when he was a wee one. He bounced up to us. Then, I'd meet him in the forest or the grassy meadow and he'd say hi.



As a yearling, he followed Oliver and I as we went walkies in the forest. His twin would follow another 50 paces behind. I'd make it down to the frog pond, and his brother would come closer.


Then, he grew up. I have to assume it is him, by his behaviour! Here are some archival photos. We do not have any snow, and it is raining today. They shed their antlers in January or February, after they've finished fighting one another for territory and females.

He is a happy man, with feed provided at your home. Snow, I thought you would have so much by now. We have a fine morning, cold wind, rain yesterday, not summery at all.

You have to use this guy's name . Then all you do is say come Tigger and he will come to you and you will know it's Tigger!!!

That's so great to have the same critters return year after year. - Margy
