Question for the whitetail experts: would the group of three fawns pictured below be considered rare? Is there a decent chance these three are triplets? Not sure I've even seen an albino, definitely haven't seen an albino and black together.

My wife took this picture this morning just down the road from my house. This is Upshur county just north of Big Sandy.

Those are Fallow Deer? All three?

Yes. You didn't get the rare normal, albino and melanistic trifecta. Good effort though.

If you are near FM 1002 and Catalpa Rd. there is a high fence place that has Fallow Deer and Elk. Looks like maybe they need to fix some fence.

Yeah, didn't occur to me they were exotic... We don't (or didn't) have any exotics running free around here. They must have escaped off a high fence.

Thanks for setting me straight.

You just nailed it. I live by Roads End Ranch that backs up to that breeder.....should have thought about them when she sent the picture.

This might be the most outdoors thread ever.

1. A guy posts a thread with question and photo.
2. He gets a friendly informative response.
3. Others nail down his address within 5 posts.
4. No one asked for pics of the wife.

Well done, folks!

Yep, not far from some of your family.

That's Roads End Ranch where the Fallow are standing. 200 yards from my driveway. I need to bait them up with some corn since they are free game and no season.....give me something to shoot at with my bow in the front yard besides my target.
