Whitetail Deer FawnsWritten by David Selman, Tracker-Outdoors.com
Continued from page 1
Like some adult deer, a fawn will remain motionless when danger is near. Fawns and adult deer often go unnoticed by predators and hunters by remaining still. Fawns are completely odorless for first few days of life. The doe stays away from fawn only returning for nursing. This prevents deer's scent from being detected by predators and giving away location of a fawn. If you encounter a fawn in wild, please do not handle it. The doe is surely nearby. Often a doe will abandon a fawn if human odor is present on fawn.Article by Tracker Outdoors www.tracker-outdoors.com

Alex told his wife Sandy that he wanted to race an Ironman. She gave him an account with CTS, and time to train as a gift. Alex started training with me in April. Pretty much from beginning I realized he had enormous potential. His numbers were superb and he had great determination. Alex also has tremendous ability to recover from even toughest work outs. His weight dropped to a pre-competition 165 lbs. His speed continued to improve through summer as his heart rate dropped. Alex came down with a bad case of bronchitis, but decided to compete in a large sprint race in Cleveland against my better judgment. He did not realize until someone called him next day he was first in his age and second overall! This is when I began to consider I was working with someone truly exceptional. Moving forward, Alex would like to qualify and compete for Kona Ironman. He would also like to finish an Ironman in less than 9 hours. He could not train like he does without full support of his wife Sandy. He has two children, Gabriel 3 and Alex 1, and is General Manager of Preferred Industries. Obviously this requires some serious time management skills and understanding from his family. Alex is motivated by need to demonstrate to his children they can achieve great things if they work hard for them. Competing is his way of proving anything is possible. I am very optimistic about his future.
