Bummer, I had a visual escape without the ability to take a picture. Rough mowing part of the woods area of my lot that I had cleared out last fall and wanted to keep it fairly open. The weeds were about 6 to 7 inches tall and I'm slowly going because the ground is rough. I had been mowing for about 20 minutes or so and was surprised when a newly born fawn jumped up out of the weeds about 4 feet away from me. I stopped the mower and looked around. Didn't see hide nor hair of momma deer. The little guy could hardly walk but did get to the road and into my neighbors woods across the street.

@johnbishop Would have loved to see it! Bummer is right.
@johnbishop I keep watching out my back window each morning, figuring to see the fawn/s from this year's batch. so far they are pretty hidden. This morning there were 6 deer in the back, happily looking over and choosing delectable goodies from that big field. It rained over an inch yesterday, and in the next few days we will be using some strong herbicide on the wild blackberries that continue to undermine our fence. The deer do not come right to the fence on east and south sides, so no issue.
The goslings have gotten real big now, and it's hard to distinguish them from their parents from a distance!

Oh, @johnbishop, What a lovely surprise to see a newly born fawn nearby!!! Hope the little fella made it back to rejoin his mamma. Can only imagine the delight seeing the newborn brought. Thank you for the lift today!

@johnbishop Glad she jumped up before you mowed her down lol you wouldn't do that I know . I have a story to tell you . This is a camp story. While leaving out cabin we drove out on this road and I looked over into the woods and saw a fawn nursing now how bout that usually they are well hidden in woods . I still remember this .
