Today was a different story. Headed up Milk Creek Rd to do some riding and cam across a doe with 2 fawns. They were only hrs old, for they did not have the ability to walk yet. They would take a step or two and fall down. One just stayed but the other tryed t follow mom.
I was trying to get a picture of the deer but the camera read "memory card Locked" :dunno: i fiddeled with it untill i remembered how to unlock the mem card, but by that time the deer were gone. I wlked in the direction they went and seen mom walk behind a bush, so i waited to see if the fawn's would come out. I took 3 steps forward to get a better view (mom crossed about 40 yards in front of me), I looked down and there was one of the fawns. I stepped back, took some pic and left it where it layed with out bothering it. As i was heading back to my bike i darn neer triped over the other fawn. I again took a few a pictures and left it alone. Mom was close by keeping an eye on me. I assured her that i offer no harm and felt her and the fawns alone.
It was amasing to how still they can stay with danger around. They just layed there, like yu cant see me, I am invisable.

Coming across them and being able to get these pictures made the weekend worth the trip..........

Just get out a little more in the spring and it will happen again. Today was the 4th time in 3 years for me, but it was the first time I had a camera.

Great shots!

That's amazing how close you were able to get, especially without pissing off momma.
Great shots!
I was laying on the ground about three feet in front of them. I had to reach out and move some brush out of the way to get a pic.
Mom was close by and kept a watchful eye, I believe she was trying to lead me away from her fawns.
I could have, but did not, touch them.
