Doe and Fawn

You never know what you’ll see when driving along the country roads of Michigan’s Huron County.

Pictured here is a mother deer (aka a doe) with her baby (fawn), dining on the green vegetation along with Pigeon River about two miles north of town.

Deer in the Pigeon area are healthy animals, eating the farm crops grown in the area.  They’re “corn-fed” deer, unlike their cousins in the north that feed on berries, bark, grasses and acorns.

Venison, as the meat is called, from the north has a wild, gamey taste and is often cooked with beef or pork and lots of onions.  Local venison is much more tender with a milder taste.
