Warmer temperatures and rain have melted most of our snow. This is the time when the fields are bouncy and so are some of the White-Tailed Deer yearlings.
They gambol – chase each other, do four-legged leaps, flash their luxuriant namesakes, and make everyone wish we were young again.
But, the older deer seem to share our doubts about seeing the last of snow and cold; we’ll all wait until May to gambol.
