FW: The poor little deer: Fawn born, orphaned same day -- Herald, Sat., =
Aug. 5, 2006 I was in Big Island during the last weekend of July... It =
was quite a surprise to find THREE male deer showing off their antlers =
near Beaver pond.  One young buck (?) had four "points" each while the =
two young ones had two points each.  Spoke to a Big Islander who =
remarked she saw one with antlers only once in her life.   Earlier in =
the same day, I encountered a doe and her fawn with some faint dots on =
its sides.  We would see deer from time to time and one spring in 2000 =
(?), we saw at least 17 deer foraging in the SAME field.  We took some =
photos of such a rare sighting. =20

Cheers, Liz
