Threesome

Whitetail triplets are hardly common yet hardly unknown.  I've blogged about it here from time to time as a consequence of trail camera evidence of the same.

Type Fawn Triplets in the search tool in the upper left corner of the blog homepage to see what you find.  

And there was this short video clip records at the end of last month.....

   

Three Is a Charm

What are the odds? 

Ran the trail camera trap line recently and downloaded this gem. 

I have previously captured trail camera images of triplet fawns (including mom) in 2014, 2019, 2020, 2021 and now 2025.  Go ahead; type fawn triplets in the search feature in the upper left corner of the homepage.

Daycare situation or the real deal?

Fingers-crossed to catch a pic of all three with mama.... 

Three's a Crowd

A trail camera photo of a doe with a fawn is so common as to be boring.   

A trail camera photo of a doe with twin fawns is common enough as to cause no particular excitement.

A trail camera photo of a doe with triplets is uncommon enough that it might call for a cigar!

Over more than two decades of trail camera monitoring only once before have I recorded a photo of a doe with three fawns.  That was August 14, 2014.

The DNR Snapshot Wisconsin camera that we are hosting captured these photos on August 29. 

I never saw this coming. 

Triplets!

Further evidence of too many deer on the local landscape.
