Bambi has been spotted on Jekyll Island 🏝️ 🦌
Coastal Whitetail Deer are abundant and healthy on Jekyll Island. It’s a safe haven for them to roam freely in maritime forest without the fear of predators or being hunted. Hunting is not permitted on the island. Whitetail Deer are usually elusive animals staying under the cover of the brush until dawn or twilight when they feed. But the deer on Jekyll Island can be seen almost anytime of the day. Females give birth to one to two fawns per season. They stay with their mother until they’re at least one year old. It’s a joy to be able to witness wildlife in an undisturbed habtat.
