Deer
The deer carefully
reached through the fence to nibble
on the blueberry bush.
Black-tailed deer are common on Camano Island. Young deer, called fawns, are usually born in May and are covered with spots to help them blend into their surroundings. They can walk within minutes of birth. Fawns stay with their moms for about one year.
Deer only eat plants (never meat). They love to browse on the tender new growth of trees and bushes. They also graze on grass. They have four stomachs.
Adult females, called does, can weigh up to 130 pounds. Adult males, or bucks, can weigh as much as 200 pounds.
They like forests, brushy areas, and open fields.

Congrats to "LizzyRN" for being the First To Find the cache.
Doe and Fawn
Deer Tracks
Finding the cache:
- This cache is along a nice, mostly flat trail within the park.
- No need for your toes to leave the trail to find the cache.
- The container has room for small “treasure” and travel bugs. If you take a piece of treasure please leave something of equal or greater value in return. Also make sure the “treasure” you keep is not a “travel bug” (they are meant to be moved from cache to cache).
- It is always a good idea to have a pencil or pen with you.
- Please rehide the cache as well or better than when you found it.
- You’ll need a Discover Pass if you plan to park within Cama Beach State Park.
- Please let me know if there are problems with either the cache or its coordinates.
