Marlene

Marlene is a 13 year old whitetail deer.

She is a Pet, of her choosing. She was not bottled fed, she is just naturally curious and friendly
and likes to be rubbed. She and her daughter are the only deer that are pets, all the other whitetails are wild.
Marlene is a good mother, raising her own fawns and allowing other fawns from other does
to drink her milk. Most does have two fawns, Marlene has triplets.
We did not breed her this last fall, because of her advanced age.
Deer in the wild live to ~5 years old.

What is special about the whitetails besides their beauty, is their quietness.
No barking, meowing, crowing, chirping, whinnying, quacking, mooing or a bahhhh.
The whitetails are graceful athletes with no gluttony as seen in the other animals.
And best of all is watching those buck antlers grow and anticipating the size
of the awesome antlers.
