That's a great photo. I hope she is never shot and lives out her life as special as it is.

 

We have a herd of deer that stay around my place. One of my dogs has a special relationship with a young doe and they will play together for about a half hour before she wanders back into the woods to rejoin the group. They chase each other around, jump and play. There are two deer in the herd of eight that will play with him but this one the most. These are not tame deer, totally wild. If I'm with the dog I can get within 6 feet of the doe and she will not run off. Sometimes when it's getting dark and they have been playing, I have to go out and get him with a leash and can walk "almost" right up to her then she backs up a little. 

 

Last year a doe brought her new born fawn into a fenced back yard next to us and left it there(no one lives there). Later she came back to get the fawn but seemed to forget how to get back in through the little gate. The fawn was running all over the place trying to get out and even jumping on the fence. We thought the fawn was going to injure itself so wife went over and carried the fawn out and it rejoined the mom. This a photo of them (last photo) a couple months later in our yard.

Great photos and great story. Thanks for sharing.
