It's a nice night out,and I was going to go sit out back in a brush blind I made and just see what I saw tonight. Wasn't going to hunt just wanted to sit.

Was walking by to get my seat situated,and saw this little guy in the brush I had stacked up. I took a picture and slipped out so mom could come back. I guess it's an axis wrong time of year for a white tail.

Nice Ric. Gotta ask, are they normally birth in mid January where you live?

A bonus gift of nature.

So cool. I don't know how anybody could look at that and not be awestruck by God's creation.

Terry I'm not real sure. It seemed odd to me also. Axis might breed year round?

I agree Friend and Artic Hunter. The first time I saw it,it was looking right at me,but when I got my phone it wouldn't look at me and I didn't want to push it.

Yes, Axis breed year round. You'll almost never shoot and Axis doe that isn't pregnant. She either just had a fawn or is in the magic 2-weeks when she has not be bred yet!

That little fawn is well hidden!

Thanks, had no idea it was an Axis.

Here's a picture with my chair up against the fence. I had to crop it down so you could see the deer better. When I first stacked that brush up it was green and made a really nice brush blind I need to get some more brush.

To be clear, I have no idea just by looking at the pic that is an axis. Someone mention the time of year that fawn is and I just went with it. Really odd to have a WT fawn in January. But not so odd for an Axis.

These temps have got to make it rough on that little guy.
