That is so beautiful I have never seen a deer that just gave birth and the babies are so small and fragile. We have so many deer where I live and the babies are out now playing and I just love them.

Thank you for sharing and I like to use it at my Animal rights site.

@Arkfunangel not all hunters are bad. some are sustaining families by hunting. if it's all about god and his creations then you have to consider that it's god's way to eat from the land. and it's not legal to kill a fawn and in most cases does as well.

hey juk its bad for there health if u keep them in ur home or in a fence because they wont get the exercise they need unless u get a fence with the diamiter of a mile

Seeing this is beautiful yet sad. Today I saw a doe that was struck by a car. She was very much pregnant. There was someone on hand tending to the animal. He had called his wife, a vet, and she was on her way to do an emergency c-section. A cop was on the scene who professed to be a deer fanatic/hunter and said that the doe was finished, that it was dead and so was its baby. Further he wouldn't allow the emergency c section to take place and so ended our efforts to save the unborn deer.

Coyotes, bobcats, and bear don't kill deer. Coyotes are scavengers, bobcats are fall too small to bring down a deer and prefer to prey on rabbits and birds. Bears are also scavengers, they're not built to run down and quickly dispatch animals. The only predators deer have are wolves and cougars, and with habitat loss, there aren't a whole lot of those around anymore. Cars seem to be taking over that role.

but same with gun there r those bad hunter where they go 4 head shots and miss fully and hit the lower jaw and the deer can go a week or two still alive with no lower jaw. but not me and some other hunters we go 4 clean shot and try our best meen there are those accident shot where they get a bad shot butwe try to look 4 them and make sure they dont dye suffering. hunting also isnt just a trophie we hunt 4 there meat and feed our family 4 a year thx u guys 4 not getting pissed off

[luv2deer]

Well, that is sorta true. Coyotes, Bears, Bobcats, and Dogs are predators. Or at least around here they are. I ADORE deer and like anything you may love and adore, you don't want to see it mistreated and there ARE hunters that mistreat deer. That is what pissed me off about hunting. You give someone who a gun - who doesn't give a rats butt about the wellbeing of the deer herd - they just want to shoot at something - That is a recipe for disaster!

[luv2deer]

I understand. I hear stories of "unethical" hunting and that is what really pisses me off. It sounds like you are concerned for the wellbeing of the deer herds and I appreciate that :) You know the old saying, one bad apple (unethical hunter)will ruin the whole bunch (ethical). It also makes me mad when a hunter knowingly takes a bad shot at a deer by gun or bow -then the poor thing suffers! If you can't get a good shot to ensure a quick kill - DON'T SHOOT!! I hope you all agree on that.
