A New Word in My Wildlife Vocabulary
I have coined a completely logical term for the process of reproduction among species of DEER ; each thread participant is allowed ONE GUESS as to that term.
In the meantime … my new Nikon 200-500mm lens attached to a Nikon 500D camera … continues to kick butt!
From this past Saturday in the Pocono Mountains …

But wait … there's more … coming later today.
No guesses yet?
I can't begin to guess!
Nor I. Wonderful Phawn Photo.
Neer?
I love the photo.
I admit that I am lost as to what you are looking for? However a beautiful shot!
I'll give it some more time and, if no one guesses the term, I will reveal it, and, post one more fawn photo from this past weekend … which, in my opinion is "better" than the one posted above in that I think it's "stronger" …
But, I realize, I cannot always be objective about my own photos, and, words like "stronger" and "better", in-and-of-themselves … are subjective.
Au contraire mon ami. I see the first photo as being much stronger, and a more unusual view.
There's one more to come, Buzz … it's the one I actually referred to.
Yes! That one is very good.
Doeingit...
Repeating the clue …
a completely logical term for the process of reproduction among species of DEER;
The Rut...
Rutting
Doe-lific...
The second, and, IMO, "better" fawn photo is posted.
Six minutes to the term.
Mount Deer
You'll kick yourselves when I post the term … two minutes!
Dear Deer
THE WORD IS …
FAWNICATION!
Good one & the pictures are too...
Bah! Humbug!
Let's get him guys! Someone hold him down and we'll all beat him! LOL
LOL
Sore losers.
One more fawn photo to come (no pun intended).
Ah F. . . (fawn)
How about the photo of the fawn in the tub, I love that one.
Alright, since we're guessing names here is one for you to guess at.
This is the unofficial national anthem of Australia...
Slim Dusty mentions a animal in the song, what is the animal...No looking up what it is.
Still listening …
Oh for goodness sakes people...It's right there on the screen, first word second line and repeated through the song.
It's a JUMBUCK, geez
Next you'll be asking what a tucker bag is...Is English a second language around here...
Yeah, Kavika, but I had to look it up to know what a Jumbuck is, and I have no idea how he could have shoved it in his tucker bag. But then I've never been to Australia.
Last spring, I looked out of my family room window and saw this fawn hobbling to its feet, walk down the slope of my back yard … and seem to disappear. I grabbed my camera and went outside to see where the fawn went.
Behind a huge poplar tree at the base of my yard, the fawn had climbed into this wash tub that belonged to my father; after he passed away, it was something I decided to save and keep in the yard.
The photo tells the rest of the story.
I simply love that photo, it is my favorite of your deer photos Mac.
Thanks
Third and final Fawn photo in this thread posted; IMO, the best of the lot.
The third photo is a beauty. But, there's always a but, the fawn in the tub is still my favorite.
They are both fantastic! I am glad I'm not a judge in a contest because I don't think I could pick between the two! Wonderful!
The best part of this discussion and the one yesterday, is the participation level.
Thanks to everyone who helped generate the activity.
You're welcome deer...
Fawn - miliarity breeds ... More fawns?
LOL had to look that one up...
THE FAWNS:
The Fonz is on his menstrual cycle.
AAAAYYY!!!
Typing this on my cell-fawn ain't easy...
What do you call the sound made by a couple of young deer?
I give up, One
Stereofawnic...Me too, that last one hurt...
Ha, good one.
Have to EARase that, One.
'course, don't deer travel in a HEARD?
Whoever HERD of such fawn sense?
Actually I really am quite fawnd of your photos.
Isn't that more than enough FAWNow?
No, no … just kidding … my apologies for such a DEERanged comment. Keep it going.
UPDATE ON THE FONZ Menstrual Cycle …
• He only rode that bike approximately once every 29 days …
… and, when he rode …
… he was in a bitchy mood.

If male deer have antlers, it's only proper that the females (does) … have unclers.
Or visa versa.

When at carnivals, to what feature do young deer tend to gravitate?
