Away. I think. Cool picture Edit: at further investigation the ear is in front of the beam, he’s looking at camera, I think..

I'd say looking at the camera. I'm pretty sure I can see the nose and some eye outline even with my head turned sideways.

After further evaluation of the evidence (the horns)....I'll realign my vote....he's looking at the cam.

My vote is away, based on the fact it looks like his right ear is behind (closer to the camera) than his right antler beam. I certainly could be wrong though

I say at.

Yes. I can see his eye lashes.

At. Angle the computer screen a bit and you see more details. I can see the outline of his nose, the ridge of his snout, and part of the left eyebrow.

(1) You can see his main beam out to the tips on his left antler and (2) the noted eyelash also gives a hint. Combine those two and I'd go with at the camera.

It's quite obviously looking at the camera. You can see the nose and even it's left eye ball.

At the cam.

At. His black nose shows up slightly darker. If he was looking away, that would be the bottom of his chin.

Enhanced I think I can see that his right ear is behind his right beam, so he’s looking away. I’m always right 50% of the time…..
From: Woods Walker

Maybe he identifies as looking away from the camera. Who are we to assign body positions anyway?
From: drycreek

Looking at it again I see what I think are the dark areas on the “rims” of his ears as he looks toward the camera. I’m always right 50% of the time ! ;-)

Away. Unless he has the smallest nose ever on a deer.
From: JohnMC

I think away - I don't think that is his nose I think it is the underside of his chin from behind. I think if he was looking at the camera the darkness of eyes would show. But what you see is the back that more or less the same color and is all washed out equally.

Looking at the camera according to the curve of his antlers, I think?

JohnMC made me see that he could be looking away. It is an illusion!

If he's looking away, they why can you see the black tip of his nose?

I say Away. I love questions that have 50% of the answers going each way. Definitely a unique picture.

I took this picture off the computer from a 15 second vidio, so I know which way hes going. You all have legit arguments.

How in the world can you say the deer is looking away from the camera!!?!? The deer is a small Crab Claw 10
From: Cheesehead Mike

I originally thought away but then I changed my mind to facing toward the camera. But then after seeing that 8's or Better is sure that it's looking toward the camera and he somehow counts 10 points, I'm going to change again and say that I only see 9 points and it's looking away ;-)

Looking at it’s silhouette of the head I see why people would say away, but if you look closely at the orientation of the antlers it’s quite obvious that it’s rack is FACING the camera. No question.

I see a gold dress, and my wife sees a blue one. Hmmm, plot thickens!

He is looking AT the camera. A nine point buck with 5 points on his left side 4 on his right side. I paused the vidio at just the perfect time to give the illusion of misdirection. Heck there were times i thought he was looking away. In my opinion his right side antler(4pts) was the deciding factor. Was fun hearing all the opinions!!!

I’ll guess he’s only 2.5
