This afternoon I seen a dozen deer in a field. Five was feeding, four was bedded in a curled up position with heads up and three was sprawled out on the ground like a dog sunning himself with their head laying in the field. Don't ever remember seeing deer sprawled out like that, any one else?

Me neither. Unless they were young fawns.?

They didn't appear to be any smaller than the other ones.

I have seen last years fawns jumping around and playing in the snow.

There just taken at easy after a long hard winter. Body's just starting to change over from winter mode. Out in Day time eating resting and saving energy, using Sun to help keep warm. Bodies are at their weakest right now at this time of year.

I have been seeing the same 10 deer eating the green stuff in front of my house down by the mailbox where the sun hits the first thing in the morning, but at or after dark.
