    Still has spots, they typically disappear between 3-5 months of age.

    We usually have four to six new fawns per year but this was the first we've spotted.

    I'm usually cutting more in the summer so being in the woods more I usually see them.

    We finally saw the first set of twins and may have seen one with triplets. If so, this is the first triplets we've seen for many years.

    This morning I was close to 3 fawns and I was on the atv. They hardly paid attention to me. Yesterday I was near 2 of them. Love it!

    Yesterday morning while I was taking the dog for a walk, I saw a momma deer and two fawns getting ready to cross the street. We got within about 100-150' of them, and then the dog noticed them and started barking, and they took off. Spent the rest of our walk sniffing around trying to figure out where those deers went...
