Next year...or the year after that...

Picked these two characters up while a hay cut was underway. Beats running them through the mower-conditioner. Found another of the same lot, it seemed, dead for at least a couple of hours. Suspect that they started out as triplets. These two were both bucks.

Anyhoo,a good eye by the guy on the tractor.

They were moved off to the side of the field. Mom found them and away they went, after the cut was done.

Was wondering when they where going to be dropping their fawns.
Have seen a very pregnant doe on Maine Island across from Scoones Point .
Hoping to see mom and the little one(s) in the same area later in the spring/summer.
Thanks for sharing,

Damn those little things sure are sweet looking. Just makes me wanna take out some yotes for the sake of fawns everywhere.

They are so endearing when so young.
Thanks for sharing. Good eye on the operator to see them.
Glad to hear mama took them under her care again after humans handled them.
Regards, Eagleye.

Yeah. Crazy cute little critters these! I was surprised at the yelp that one of them let out when we picked it up. It tried to get up and run, at the very point that it was being picked up, as it tried to get it's legs under it.
Figure they were that morning or the night before born. All legs and elbows!

As far as the human smell issue, I figure that the mother has an investment of time effort and energy, in them, and it makes not a lot of sense that a little smell would put her off the fawns. Personal opinion, anyway.

We are a few days/a week earlier this year with the first cut. Last year they were quite larger, and quite willing to get up and run.

I still had to hose out the Mower once last year. Crappy. Chased a bunch out though too. They seem to be able to deal with the fawns having bolted from where they were left, reasonably well.
