Another month long soak of trail cameras and very few fawns captured. And no sets of twins. I run cameras in the same spots year after year. I've never seen such a lack of fawns during the summer. I noticed it early but held off judgement until more recently. Don't know if it was the heavy snow late winter / early spring or what. Haven't heard any other talk of it as the overall deer numbers have rebounded reasonably well the last couple years. No one will notice until next year that there is a "hole" in the year class much like when fish species have an unsuccessful spawn in a particular year. Fingers crossed that this winter goes smoother because if we go back to back like this the population will be back WAY down 2-3 years out.
