I was looking over some of my past posts and I saw a couple with a doe I call "Missy." I only mentioned her a little bit in each, and I called her "by-now-famous." Well, she's not if you don't know her! Many of you will think I'm crazy that I'm writing about a post about one particular deer, but hear me out.
So, last year around this time, I had gotten some pictures of this one doe, the biggest on the property as I'd seen. After getting tired of calling her "the big doe" I just called her "Missy", a name that I had no particular reason for choosing, it just came to mind.
After I had gotten multiple pictures of her, I realized that she had two fawns with her as well. Like their momma, nice and healthy. So now, I was even more interested in watching Missy and her fawns. And that's what I did, I watched them grow.

Sometimes Missy and her fawns would come multiple times a night. Anyway, not long after this 8/30 picture, I had a personal encounter with the fawns. I was going down to put more corn in the feeder, and I got a surprise, the fawns were there. I was able to get within 20 feet of them. They ran away, but I knew they wouldn't go far and that they'd be back, and sure enough:

 |
| Ta'da! They're back! |
As the time went on, I kept getting more pictures of them. I even got one of her nursing a fawn.

| Apparently Missy doesn't mind sharing with a raccoon. |

| I think this is the best trail cam picture I've ever gotten. |
I think that's it for now, next I'll share about November 2014 till now!
