Twins

Whitetail twins are generally of the fraternal variety. Mom ovulates multiple eggs which are subsequently fertilized by different sperm.  Yes, whitetails are promiscuous.  And while twin fawns may look alike - they are not identical - even if they have the same mom.

From the trail camera north of the creek and adjacent to the shitter there have been multiple photos of a pair of twin fawns.

Here are a couple of keepers from the same location taken a couple of weeks apart....
