Bucks, Does and Fawns

While fawns are seen all over the neighborhood, the bucks are more reclusive and secluded. The bucks antlers are still developing and covered with velvet. The velvet will be shed soon to reveal the bone-like antler.



The does are spending "quality time" with their fawns and teaching them the food sources of the neighborhood. This doe and fawn stayed in the bushes for over and hour as I mowed a hay field next to them. Within minutes after I finished mowing, these two popped out of the bushes and started grazing.



After a quick snack, the doe and fawn had to check out my mowing.



This pair of curious fawns spent several minutes checking me out as I took pictures of them.
