The doe may have between one and three fawns. The young are born in late spring, or early summer and stay with their mother through the next winter.
Deer are widespread and common.
Though they prefer chaparral they will adjust to just about any open space they can find. Canyons surrounded by houses are common places for a small herd of deer. The problems occur when they wander out into the busy street or when they begin choosing your roses over the weeds. A regular six-foot fence is a deterrent, but a healthy adult can spring over it in a single bound. Deer are learning to adapt to the small patches of wilderness in urban districts.
