Bond Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Was 4 wheeling today and spotted a fawn in a new seeded alfalfa field. Wasn't much bigger than a rabbit! Wish I had a camera with me. Just thought you guys would like to know they're dropping.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Re: First fawn We're seeing a few does getting whacked on the highway. Just saw a new one this morning. Won't be long before I'll see one I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjam5 Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Re: First fawn This is for the people who don't know.... If you see a fawn...don't touch it! Do not put ANY human scent on the deer. If you want to help it, leave it alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom2008 Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Re: First fawn Haven't seen any around here, but a pregnant doe crossed the road when I was driving a couple days ago. Had to slow down so she could hobble across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bond Posted May 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Re: First fawn Was cutting hay today and now they're all over. Hit 2 with the discbine though. When they're that young, you can't see them hiding in the hay and they won't jump out of the way when they hear the tractor coming. I have no idea I even hit them until the next round. Sometimes I'll see a doe hanging out then I get out and look for the fawn and push it out of the way, or just don't cut the area at all.

slughunter Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Re: First fawn yea, that always happened to us when we had hay, we lost a lot that way, now we are doing soy beans instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Re: First fawn Hit one once with my front tire on the edge of the field when I was turning while raking one year. Felt pretty bad about that. Still have not seen any here yet, but the pics from our leaf river, I know there are several does that are close.

AdvantageTimberLou Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Re: First fawn I went out turkey hunting over the weekend, seen some does but no fawns yet. Had a buck bed down about 75 yards away, he was sunning himself about 50 yards from where I hang my bow stand. Let's just say I backtracked out of there and let him be. Hope he's still there come October!! No fawns yet but hoping to see some some! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Re: First fawn I saw my first fawn yesterday! Just a single fawn with the doe. What made it extra special was that my daughter was with me and she got to see the fawn also. Ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Re: First fawn In the last 3 days, I've seen 3 sets of fawns from last year still running around. That tells me momma is kicking out last year's fawns in preparation for this year's fawns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
