Beggar Doe's 2009 fawn
This is the new fawn hiding in the grass. We don't know yet if it's a buck or doe. They really are boney and it takes a couple days for them to fill out and get cute.
6/2/09 Most of the does have now given birth to their fawns. You might be able to observe them early morning or late evening.

Little Lost Fawn, May 26th 2009, this fawn died ,probably a victum of the coyotes as we saw a big male coyote in the area
This was Skars offspring, we never saw the fawn again and for a couple of weeks Beggar did not show up and we saw a large coyote in the area.

Beggar Doe and newborn 05/26/09
This is Beggar doe with her newborn fawn. We just happened to be present when she gave birth. She was nice enough to let me get close enough to watch as she cleaned off the afterbirth and got it on it's feet.

Beggar Doe, Matriach of the family with Skar 2008
Skar was the first buck that we identified and in the early years his constant companion was Too Tall, until 2007 when they went there seperate ways. We did not see Skar in 2009 and we believe that Too Tall died in the fall of 2008.

Skar waiting to cross the road
This is Skar, we have observed Skar since 2004. At that time he was a small 8 pointer. He was the dominant buck between Tall, Snelling and Amigo. Skar got his name that season when he got into a fight with another buck, broke his antler off and had a large cut on his forehead.
We believe he is the father to Woodtick and Tiny Ted. We did observe him with Beggar and he sired Floydee.
