A Winter Morning With Whitetails In The Woodlands

 After a week of cold temperatures the weather moderated with an incoming snow storm Friday afternoon.  By Saturday morning the storm had dwindled to flurries and the deer were actively feeding in the woodland.

Deer utilize many types of forage and during winter browse is high on their agenda. 

By late morning the deer had finished feeding

Spending the mid-day bedded up

  4. Tyni,
    In the photos where two deer are present they are of a fawn and an adult doe. I don't expect that our deer are as large as what you are accustomed to. Our mature does usually weigh between 100 and 120 lbs. I have noticed a considerable size difference between our local deer and the ones in Shenandoah National Park VA where the deer are considerably larger.
