We have twin fawns in our yard.  I haven't seen them yet myself but my neighbor came over yesterday and said she saw them in our yard yesterday.  I think the mother dropped them sometime last weekend.  She was acting strange last Sunday.

Went and mowed the lawn last weekend and had a doe hanging out in the pasture Sat. Evening . Sunday morning she was real nervous and laid down about 30 feet from the gate and a hour later she was up tending to something about half hour later there was a set of wobbly legs in the grass behind her!!

I had a fawn in my field this morning looked about a week old i live in tenino

[Ridgeratt]

No I just left her ans the new one alone! I'll get out a homebrew in the next week or so. Usually I get a couple of does with fawns in the yard every year. (perhaps they are kin of the bucks that visited Knock Down Sally) Not sure how to link that old post

I saw a doe with two newly born fawns standing alongside I-5 this morning, just north of Centralia.

 I just left her and the new one alone. Will get out a homebrew in a week or so. Usually get a couple every year have one doe that has always thrown twins so she should show up soon.

Here's a couple of old photos from 2005

Funny, the fawns are just being born over here in the last week or so....seasonal differences....

I was fast asleep two nights ago and BANG...BANG....BANG...I awoke to someone banging on the front door. I slipped to a window to see who was at the door at 2:30 AM.

There was some young girl (16ish) standing there....so I opened the door to see what was wrong....she said they were turning around in our driveway and saw a baby fawn laying there in the middle of the road, it couldn't get up, and they didn't want it to get eaten by something, so they picked it up and brought it up to my house to get help.....WTF.....but i was nice, I explained the momma deer probably just had it and then jumped out of sight when their headlights turned in the driveway....after some more explaining I convinced them to put it back exactly where they found it and leave it for the mom to find....in the morning my son searched the area....sure enough it appears the doe came back and got her fawn.

Sorry I was half awake and did not think to take a photo,
