i love this time of year
every whee i drive i see lots of does with their fawns,turkeys with their poults etc
i was reading s study the other day and it stated that most does give birth to twin fawns for evolutionary reasons
they say that giving birth to twins gives a better chance for at least one of the two to survive past its first year
where as giving birth to a single fawn has a greater chance of not surviving and the population declining more rapidly
with fawns being pretty much defenseless to predators,and more susceptible to death from the weather.
the more that are born guarantees a higher survival rate of the fawns
being a truck driver, i travel a lot of rural areas to small towns to deliver my product
i do see a lot of twins with the does this time of year.usually by fall i see a lot more singles with the does
