Hello and thank you for visiting my channel "Back Yard Files". I love animals and love sharing them with other people. Please feel free to message me. Check out my Facebook and Twitter pages. Please share your outdoor experience with me as well. I love watching videos of animals : )
The deer were checking the scent of their fawns/mothers. Obviously the visual signals confused them. The mother not sure her fawns weren't the reflections checked the real fawns scents. Likewise the fawns checked their mother's scent.
In my opinion those are one of the most vile creatures on earth. I sit here in my bedroom sometimes and watch them at the bird feeders. They just keep killing every bird that goes next to them.
