  Subject: [NatureNS] White tailed Deer and the young


   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


  Bob Bancroft stated that during the rut in the Fall, white-tailed deer =
go through about three different periods of coming into heat, and then =
the extended birthing period the next Spring-Summer reflects that -- =
i.e., the earliest fawns are born in April, then many in May and June, =
and this article makes it clear that at least a few can be born very =
late.

  Cheers from Jim in Wolfville=20
