And where are the tines on the opposite side? Just happened to exactly match up? Just asking. Is there a logical explanation?
Heck, the G4 and 5 on the near side are leaving shadows in thin air!
Take a closer look, you can see all the tines. There are no G4's or G5's, its a main frame 4x4.
I don't think the trees are 15yds behind the deer either.
The shadows are there because the flash on the cuddeback is higher than the lens.
EDITED TO ADD:
Great looking buck Madeline! Welcome to the forums.
