Fawns

[Howboutthemdawgs]

Kinda interesting, my beans are just starting to come up that the farmer planted and the deer are starting to hit them. I have seen several does out and about but zero fawns. Like right now there 5-6 does out and not one fawn. I wouldn’t think they would be too little to come out with momma right now but I guess so.

I've been seeing a couple in the fields with mom.

I’ve got 4 singles and one set of twins showing up on cameras so far. But I’ve also still got a few doe showing pregnant. So be patient and I bet they show up soon.

My fawns been coming with their mama’s to feeders for a week or two. There is one fewer fawn now than there was a week ago. Looks like a really poor fawn crop. One fawn with six does. One fawn with four does. And one fawn with five does. Hopefully a few more show up. Very few coyote pics - like maybe four coyote pictures in the last month on four cameras and no cat pictures. Our fawn recruitment statewide is poor - between .4 and .5 - but it looks like mine this year is going to be worse than that.

A little trapping and maintaining high doe density is the only way to combat low fawn recruitment. A ton of food and cover

Heard a distress fawn bleat last week at the farm and saw coyote trotting away with the poor thing hanging from his jaws. I wish I’d had my rifle with me.

Another casualty to coyotes. Makes me sick. Starting to get steamed. I may have to learn how to trap.

At least one set of twins on my lease in my piss poor food plot. And this baby at home

This bunch of seven does had two fawns between them - down to one now.

Two scenarios here. One is a really big fawn who showed up on camera this morning. Looking really good.

The other is a fawn we heard while driving down the road yesterday. It was bawling for mom. It looked to be only a few days old? Had really wiry hair and its face looked blunt. I don’t think it was a healthy baby. Not sure how that works if the mom would abandon it? I felt bad, but I couldn’t do it any favors by intervening. Sad to leave the booger there, but nature has a way of it’s meant to be.
