White-tailed Deer Doe
I had a lovely encounter early this morning with a pretty doe. Isn’t she beautiful? It was around 5:30 am and still a bit dark under the trees. We checked each other out for at least five minutes, me filming away and she nibbling on greens, before she somewhat nonchalantly headed into the woods. The deer appeared on the young side, with her knobby knees and keen curiosity. Please, any deer experts reading this post, do you think she is an adult deer or a teenager? How can you tell? Thank you!

Very nice encounter and she does appear to have given birth not too long ago thin a bit here and I would imagine she stood her ground as the fawn was more than likely not too far from this encounter? I would wag it she may be 2-4 years old here. . 🙂 Dave & Kim 🙂
