Springtime Brings New Fawns To Lowcountry
Posted by lowcountryhunting on May 19, 2008
This is going to be a great week of posts featuring some amazing photographs of our our lowcountry’s spectacular outdoor scenes.
Mike Cassteven’s wife, Gillian, has been kind enough to send me a huge batch of unbelievable photos including some great shots of hogs feeding, deer mating, food plots growing and deer management practices being implemented. If you remember, I posted a few of her big buck pictures two weeks ago, and I can’t wait to share more of her work with you.
However this morning, I am going to highlight Mike’s daughter, Faith, and her wonderful pictures of a brand new fawn. I will let her Bonus Mom tell the story… 
Jeff,
Here are a few pictures Mike’s 13-year old, Faith, took the other evening while out on a ride with her Daddy. Mike and Faith love to take rides together and she loves animals. She has learned so much from her father and growing up in the country, Pleasant Hill. Mike’s deer hunting buddies joke that Faith was “raised by wolves” because she is the female version of the Jungle Boy. Much like her father, she has no fears and probably could tell a few tales of her own in the woods of the lowcountry.
Mike said this fawn was probably born the day the saw it and Faith was quick to point out it will be a buck. Makes you wonder if he’ll make it that long…..whose wall he may end up being a trophy on….and whose “deer tale” he will make. You know what I’m hoping for!
Anyway, spring has definitely sprung in the lowcountry!
Enjoy!
Gillian

It’s amazing how the spots on the fawn help to camoflage the fawn from predators. And they actually don’t have a scent to keep them out of harms way. And the mother only comes around to feed it and check on it.

I had a great relationship with my father growing up. I believe that when you have similar interest with a parent it really makes you have a strong bond and connection.
Thanks for sharing these pictures…they are amazing.

Great pictures. I haven’t had the privelege yet of seeing a fawn like that in the wild. Would be pretty cool to stumble upon one sometime though.
