The young fawns and older bucks are roaming the woods of the Midwest these days. Said fawns still have their spots at these barely venture away from their mothers, still timid of what lies outside of the woods. The veteran bucks, however, are anxiously waiting for the rut to start in a few months, trying to claim their territory. Last night I saw over 20 fawns and well over 30 bucks on a Deer Drive around the area I live in eastern Minnesota. I’m no hunter, but I did shoot some really nice deer with my camera last night!
