Perfect pose...White-tailed doe and fawn. Females give birth to 1&ndash;3 spotted young, (fawns), in mid to late spring. Fawns lose their spots during the first summer. <br />

When a fawn is born it is odorless so that predators are not attracted to its location. In fact the mother doe will stay away from the fawn for a few days so that her scent does not rub off on the fawn or attract predators to the area where the fawn is hiding while gaining strength.
