Six things you should know about deer birthing season

1. Female deer will often give birth away from the herd

Prior to birthing, females will select an area of dense vegetation such as long grass and bracken so that the newly born deer are hidden from dogs and other perceived predators.

We politely request that all visitors give female deer respect, privacy, and space, and do not go in search of young deer.
