Saw These Friday

 

We have been seeing a lot of new baby deer and deer in general the last few days (the moon is "fulling",you know). Among them, was a once super-fat nanny (now looking lean) that had triplets and we have seen that set a couple of times in the last week along with two does that appeared to only have single fawns. Driving into the house Friday around noon, these two were standing in the middle of the road until they saw me. The doe went right and the fawn went left of the road. I was on the phone with one of my friends and asked him if I could jump off as I was going to try to catch this brand new baby deer and I would call back later. I slipped out of the vehicle into the woods. I had not gone far when I realized I had left my phone behind. I really didn't expect to catch the deer, but figured I might get a picture. I went back for my phone which was only about 75 yds. I had not gone very far past the point where I had just been when I spied the little critter browsing and facing away from me. I made it to about 7 yds. and took this photo. I was nearly paralell with it when it raised it's head and looked at me. I took another couple of steps and it hopped (not really scared) a few yards away and went back to browsing. I then tried to flank it. I had gone only 25 yds. when I saw the mother standing about 60 yds. from me. She had returned searching for junior. She saw me. She then blowed/whistled, flagged, and headed back across the road. I had an angle on her and quick stepped it to the road where I was able to snap the two lower photos. I went on home after that. I hope everyone has a great Sunday afternoon and God Bless!
