Whitetail Birth

Even though I have lots of Whitetail Deer right outside my backdoor, it is still unusual to see the birth of whitetail babies. Somehow I never manage to be home.

Mostly, Whitetails have their babies in May & June. This past June I was lucky enough to be home on the weekend & notice that a Doe was about to give birth.

I waited around a few minutes & things seemed to be moving slow so I decided to jump in the shower then come back outside to watch the birth.

A quick shower later one baby was already born. So I grabbed the camera & headed out to take pictures of Mom & Baby.


Then...
