The deer are more abundant lately and we've seen several in fields and along the back roads. Many of the does have fawns and they're always a welcome sight and entertaining to watch. Deer facts: "Deer are actually aged by checking their teeth, not by counting points on antlers. Deer have a set of baby teeth just like humans. They are born with four teeth and in the next few months develop baby incisors and premolars. By the time they are about 18 months old, permanent teeth will have replaced the baby teeth. An adult will have six incisors and two canines in the lower front, six premolars and six molars in the lower back. A biologist looks at both the type of teeth the deer has as well as how worn they are to determine the age." ~ Critter Corner
