On the slope north of Old Bear Gully, more than twenty Mao Guan Deer gathered. Two bucks stood on high alert, watching the surroundings, while the does grazed with their fawns, enjoying the warmth of the sun on their backs.
The fawns were already two-thirds the height of their mothers, and their slender leg bones were gradually encased in firm muscles. If they survive until next spring, they will be the new strength of the Mao Guan Deer herd.
At this moment, a young male Mao Guan deer, not yet fully grown, already exhibited the demeanor of his elders, nibbling a few bites before raising his head to survey his surroundings.
Beside him was a doe, gazing at the young buck with a hint of pride.
Jinya's target was this young Mao Guan deer. The other fawns were too small, not challenging enough, while the adult deer were somewhat difficult for them.
