Light was difficult in the woods. Distance blurred the buck was looked to be a nice 8 pointer.

the ones with the spots are GOOD Eatin......Usually means their diet is mainly mommas milk which gives them and tender meat. Also they are easy to clean.

I can't stand it when Bambi get's ran over.:( mad: We had a little one down here and she was so cute, until someone ran over her last week. :mad: Poor little thang. :(

Does anyone know why they have the spots on them???????????
NO CHEATING!

To make it easier for them to hide when hiding from predators?

I vote with life student...I always though it was to help them blend in the grass and dappled shade...

Anyway, yes, it is to camo the babies. The spots help them blend in and hide them from predators. When the sun comes down through the trees in the forest it has dark sections and bright sections. The spots are suppose to mimic that to help them blend in better. Only baby deer need the spots because they don't have the SPEED like the older deer do to help in their survival. I hope I explained that good enough...
