As always this time of year is a real treat to be spending time in the bush.  The songbirds are active and everything is springing to life.  Today I was cruising some potential harvest blocks.  I was driving a side road with my 4 wheeler and noticed a doe deer acting quite strange and staying very close to the road.  When I returned a short while later there was a fawn on the side of the road struggling to get up.  It couldn't have been more than a few hours old.  I drove on by slowly and only a few minutes later did I remember I had my phone in my pocket.   I was going to go back for some pictures or video but decided it may distress the mother and fawn too much.  Only a few of us are fortunate enough to see something as precious as that.

Pretty cool experience, Ken. :)

Similar experience just two days ago, when out back. Dumped some brush and then noticed a doe in my walnut field of about 3-4 acres.
Drove a ways away, and watched her as she went back to tending a new fawn.
