Deer sticks tongue out at my buddy

[Canadian Black Bears]

My buddy's trail cam took a picture of this deer as it appears to be sticking his tongue out at him. The area he hunts is an apple orchard, approximately 20 miles from his house, and the deer must be eating a real sour 1. In the 2nd pic I could swear it's the same deer is in his backyard where he has a feeder. The 3rd pic is in his back yard and shows the same buck has shed his antlers. What do you think as it sure looks like the exact same deer in all 3 pics?
