Lagene here (IdahoMule's other half)
I had a wonderful surprise in my driveway Wednesday morning (6/4/14).
Twin whitetail fawns! I don't think they were more than 24-hrs old. The smaller one dropped flat immediately, just like momma told her to do. The bigger one was curious! He wanted to check me out. He kept getting closer and closer. He sniffed me and my camera, then licked my hand! I think the little one is a girl, because she listened to mom. I think the curious one is a boy, because he's naughty and didn't listen to mom.
Our driveway is just a little over a 1/2 mile long. I was on the way to the bus stop with my son. Mom was in the pasture on the other side of the driveway. She was not far away. I saw mom and the babies together later in the day. We have 36 acres of woods and pasture/hay ground. We had mules in the pasture up until Oct. 2013, when we sold them. The wildlife is coming back to our property now. I'm hoping to see a momma moose have her twins here too. It's happened several times already in years past, before we had livestock in the pasture.
My son took the pic of the curious one checking me out. The rest are my images.
Enjoy!
