Pretty amazing how cute fawns are. It's be hard for me to get upset at those little guys/girls for tearing up the garden/landscaping. But when they grow up it's game on!! :)

this is the People's Republic- man. We let our grass grow...

haha well i guess they don't have too many predators in your back yard to fend off

Awesome pictures.

timromano: you should feel flattered that the deer find your environment so secure as a "nest site".
It sure ain't busted, I read that you leave well enough alone. Good for you.

Great pictures - they are amazing little creatures. The most astonishing part about the little guys is how quick they learn how to survive. Way to go!

That is awesome, I saw a doe nursing a fawn on my way home the other day. The grass in the Peoples republic is nice and gree, wish I could say the same of the prarie grass in easern CO. Here's hoping for more Mulies all over the state!

These are truely amazing pictures.

Some of the best Pictures I have seen!! Wish I could give this 100 or more votes!!!

Great pictures!! Thank you for sharing. Everyone should be able to appreciate mother nature like this.

I see cute as long as it is in your garden and not mine. Without prudent population control they can become a nuisance very quickly.

The ones in my backyard are white tails.........

These are fabulous pictures and you should feel honored to have them in your own yard. Now, once they are big enough to go off with their mother, help them kindly move along. And you will never know if one of them is your catch a few years from now. Just hunt responsibly.

Animals being 'too cute' is part of the dichotomy of being a hunter, something anti-hunters cannot fathom. It's not an either/or choice; animals are both pleasure and nuisance.

As true lovers of wildlife, hunters appreciate the inherant beauty found in Nature. But we also understand the realities of disease, competition for food, habitat encroachment and death.

Nature is complex, and managing our natural resources is not just making Yes-or-No decisions. It takes a balanced approach of logic and compassion to work.

Very nice, thanks F&S & Tim.

I love the markings on their faces. Looks like angry eyebrows!

Cute kittens grow up to be unwanted cats and puppies grow up to be bothersome dogs. If you are a hunter, those cuddly fawns grow up to become the focus of a hunt. Whatever your personal thoughts may be, the problem of animals encroaching upon man's claimed territory (or vice versa) is age old.

those were the best mule deer pictures i have ever seen!

Those are so cute!LOL!!!At my house a baby whitetail deer was lost and walked up to me!It looked exactaly like him.If i could i would ban hunting deer because they are soooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL!!!!!!!!!

those fawns r very cute wat r u goin 2 do with them wen they r big bucks and does

What happens to the white spots as the age?

Looks like deer veal to me.
Just kidding, now the PETA rats will attack. But I do like my veal,and venison.

DEER!

RJ Arena- Calling someone a rat isn't an insult. Rats are highly intelligent creatures.

EricAlder-Individuals other than hunters can certainly understand how something can be "too cute" and "both pleasure and nuisance". We just find ways of dealing with animals that don't involve killing them.

"But we also understand the realities of disease, competition for food, habitat encroachment and death." What...? You're killing deer in self-defense now?

If you say you hunt because you like hunting, I disagree with your choice but respect your honesty. If you say you hunt to protect yourself, you're lying or stupid. There are plenty of non-lethal ways to keep deer away from your property- fences and predator urine (among other deterrents) come to mind first. If you don't mind them around but don't want them to eat your garden, follow Ranger2's advice and plant some decoy vegetables to keep you and the deer happy.

One guy's opinion: See above. Also, do you advocate hunting unwanted cats and dogs? (It's a serious question)

I love #s 14 and 15. All beautiful shots though.

These babies are the most adorable thing ever! I signed in just to say that. I love camping, canoeing and hiking but I have never hunted and would never hunt. I wish we had more wolves and pumas as natural predators; I don't want those in my backyard, but maybe that would limit deer/predators to the woods.

I love the little fawn lying down and the cat pics. I have two large Newfoundland dogs (often outside), so I doubt I will ever be lucky enough as this man to have such beauty in the backyard!

Great pictures!!!!!!!!

Ha ha! they look angry.

Thats awesome. I have some pictures a lot like those. Only mine are of whitetail fawns. thank you
