This year I have seen lots of twins that were born earlier in the year.  The guy I hunt with killed a big doe yesterday that was pregnant with twins.  The processor told him he had one last week with quads.  I don't remember seeing this many twins before.  Anyone else seeing things be a little different?

I have been feeding a set since spring at work. Thought they were both female, then noticed little nubs on one. They come running for peanut-butter & apples.

The majority of our does here produce twins every year. Sometimes it's only one, sometimes it three. I've never seen one with 4. This year triplets were born in my backyard. It can be tough to tell who's fawns are who's when multiple does are nearby.

Tons of fawns this year. I keep a couple game cameras out in my yard (in town) just to keep track of the bigger ones.

Took this picture across the street from my house.  First time seeing triplets.  The city deer population seems crazy this year.

I'm not here because I make sound financial decisions.

I’ve seen a lot of twins over the years and triplets aren’t all that unusual.

Twins is pretty standard round here.

It'd be rarer for one to not have twins here. I had a big doe I watched all fall with triplets I gave her a pass

My processor had a doe come in with 4 fetuses the other day.

Twins are pretty common in my area, but usually only one makes it.  Have pictures of a set that me and a neighbor kept up with for almost 3 years. Both were bucks.  Pretty sure they are the two 6 points I’ve gotten on camera this year as last year they had identical looking racks.  This year one has his pretty symmetrical rack the other is apparently a scraper and has his tines broken off with just the main beams left. Hopefully they’ll make it another week when the season ends and get plenty of the protein I’m starting to put out. Then give me an opportunity next season to at least see them in the daytime during the season.
