Odocoileus hemionus columbianus
Fawns are born in the late spring, around late May to early June. Mating occurs in the fall, but deer have delayed implantation, so the fawns are born after the winter months have passed. Foods are difficult to find in winter, so delayed implantation allows the deer to be successful in reproduction. More fawns survive than if they had been born in the middle of winter.
Probably 4 months old
