Fawn002A fawn lying low to avoid a predator. I added to the original pen and ink. Mary thought it was lacking. Is it an improvement?

I took these shots one rainy day last deer season. This little spike was very curious about Mary and me.

Deerbrush is one of their main food sources here. Their favorite is acorns.

A second tiny spike buck was feeding alongside the first. Bucks with a single spike and does aren’t legal to take in California.
