Who is the observer?

A few weeks ago this deer and his girlfriend were in a field near my house. I stopped to admire them and take a picture. His BFF took off for the woods and he took ten strides stopped where you see him and watched me back! I don't think you can tell but he had just one antler! I don't know enough about deer to know if this is 'lose them' season or not. I hope so, because I am sure he would be embarrassed to lose an antler during an off season. Of course, staring at people in cars is a dangerous hobby for a deer.
