If there is something in the deer area and they don’t know for sure what it is, it makes them nervous. The deer will stomp their front foot down once and make a snorting noise. If the deer feels that there is danger, they will stomp their front foot down twice or sometimes more before they run off with their tail up high. That is also a warning sign for other deer that may be in their area to start running. Whitetail Doe

Jane showed up late in the day to get her apple slices that we throw out our front window for her to eat. She ate a slice of the apple, then she turns her head to the right and spotted something out in our side yard. We didn’t know what she had saw that made her run away.
We looked out our window to see what she was running from. That was when we spotted a large Whitetail buck that was chasing after her. About 15 minutes later she shows up at our front window, wanting the rest of her apple slices. After she ate her apple slices, she walked away, going up the gravel road. About ½ hour later that buck shows up in our front yard looking for Jane. Brother and sister are cleaning each other with their tongues. There are places that the deer can’t reach on their body to clean. This is a list of some of the places that they can’t reach: The back of their neck and parts of their front neck, their ears, parts of their face, top of their head, places on their back, and etc.
Mother deer gives lots of love to her young ones. People have hands and arms to hug their loved ones. Deer have their neck, face and tongue to show affection to each other.
Whitetail Fawn & Rabbit
This young fawn, named Mary, saw something that she didn’t know what it was. She had to get closer to smell what this strange furry thing is. Miss Rabbit, sit as still as she could, wishing that Mary would go away so that she could finish eating her lunch. Mary got too close for Miss rabbit, she turns and starts running to the right. It scared Mary when Miss Rabbit ran. Mary jumps to the left and took off running to her mother. Mary told her mom about meeting a small furry thing and she ask her what was it? Mom said, it was a rabbit, they live in the woods too. The rabbits will not hurt you and you must not hurt the rabbits, we all need to get along with all the animals that are in our world. Remember just because an animal doesn’t look like us, that is no reason to start a fight. It was late in the day when the photos were taken. This fawn is out looking for its mother. Finally the fawn spots her over by the large tree and runs to her.
Last year Jane Doe had a son, that we named John Boy. This year Jane had a baby (fawn) we don’t yet if it is a boy or a girl.
Jane, her fawn and John boy was in our front yard. The fawn saw John boy and ran to him. They smelled each other to see if they are related (family member} or friend. Deer communicate with each other by the different sounds they make, the smell they put off and the ways they move their body {body language}. Jane was watching her fawn from the other end of the yard. In a short time, the fawn was ready to go back to its mother; now knowing that John boy is a family member. When the fawn joined its mother, she gave the fawn several kisses. The fawn was checking out the flower bed to see if there were anything in there that would be good to eat.
Whitetail Fawn and its mother. For the first several days, newborn fawns may spend most of their time hiding and sleeping where their mother puts them.
The doe will soon kick her last year son out of her group of doe’s that hang out together. She wants him gone before her next fawn or fawns are born this spring. Her daughter that is about 2 or more years old will stay with her mother in the same area’s that she lives in. The buck will move on to a different location. WHITETAIL DEER. The mother doe is in front of the photo, the young buck( that has nubs} is in back of her. Her daughter in the background is eating grass . Photo was taken in late February. ![]() |
