Beautiful, I am surprised you don't see them more often Tom, watched a couple try to get some grass of off the patch about the same size of yours.
I must say the poetry is somewhat colored now, when I see one I think look at that loin and the leg and all fed organic cedars hostas apple tree branches and raspberry canes, would have to be delicious. Forgot garlic shoots, gourmet meal in one package
You will note on this picture how the mom can see me, but the Bambi's are heading directly for the garden.

They look thin to me Tom, maybe even suffering and perhaps it would be kinder to put one in the freezer. For the deer's sake. :D

I appreciate the comment and humour of windblowingwoof, but for serious.
If you were hunting and there was the choice as in the picture. Take one of the young ones. Especially in the fall or early winter. They will be the best eating and the mother and the one left have a better chance of survival. Do not take the doe unless you are taking all three. The fawns will probably not survive without her. They probably would now, but this applies especially in the fall or winter.

Best venison I ever had was a button buck I took one December!

Gill, I think I may have a choice here, let the dog out last night (on a long lead) and since he went a bit berserk, took the flash light out, and while trying to explain to the dog he was just seeing things, scanned the front lawn and there they were at least four sets of shiny eyes staring at us, it's hard not to think how lovely one would be in the freezer.
