Has this guy roamed back into our lives? @rayfetherman believes he may be back after a year hiatus. Go check out some of Rays recent pics and see what you think 🤔

A throwback Thursday post to one of the coolest wildlife encounters I’ve ever had. I was driving along a canal road when I saw a mule deer doe giving birth to a fawn on the hill above the canal. As the doe was cleaning off the newborn fawn, she started delivering a second fawn. She moved a few steps away to drop the second fawn and the first one tried to stand up. It immediately lost its balance and rolled down the hill towards the canal. I wasn’t going to be ok with letting the fawn drown if it survived the roll down the hill so I found a place where I could cross the canal and I went looking for it. The doe was now up top cleaning off the second fawn. I found the fawn that fell and it was a tangled mess. Sticks had kept it from falling in the creek but it was all tangled up in sticks and couldn’t move. I moved a bunch of sticks away from the fawn and it attempted to stand. After about 10 minutes it made it to its feet. It now had imprinted on me and thought I was a family member. I didn’t want to touch it so I backed up slowly up the hill with it following me to the top. Once on top the hill it laid down. I could see the doe with the other fawn so I slowly backed up and left. A couple hours later I went back to check on them and the doe and two fawns were all resting together. It was a crazy encounter I will never forget. #muledeer #muledeerbuck #muledeercountry #muledeermonday #muleymonday

I saw my first white-tailed deer fawn of the year on Monday morning. It was the earliest fawn I had ever seen. The last week of May is when I usually start seeing fawns. This fawn was laying right next to the road and the way the doe that was with was acting, I figured there might be a fawn there. The doe walked off over a small hill and when I looked back I saw the fawn’s ear twitch. I took a few photos and then the doe gave out a blow and the fawn ran after it. There should be lots of fawns showing up over the next several weeks. #whitetailwednesday #whitetail deer #whitetails #whitetail #whitetailbuck

Two big velvet bull elk feeding in the high country last July. The big bull in front was hit and killed by a vehicle last fall. He was an awesome bull. #wapitiwednesday #elk #bullelk #elkhunting #elkaddicts
