If you have a Cabela's archery catalog, they have the most predator scents and faster delivery than Bass Pro, though I like Bass Pro Shops better for various reasons.

Guest fishermanwhohunts Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Re: What\'s killing all these fawns? Remember, If your state's government says it isn't any of that animal in the state, and it's not on the endangered species list, It's probably legal to kill.

But I don't think I can take a Bear, Cougar, or Wolf here. I'm pretty sure they're all protected... Or you can just yell, "He's coming right for me!" and then shoot and claim self defence. JK I don't think that'll work.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest malikai Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Re: What\'s killing all these fawns? Telling us the area where you live could help us in finding out which preditorial animals are in your area. I am thinking wild boar, they are isane and brutal, it looks easily from the picture that It may be a boar, they are known to eat meat. Dont underestimate the cyotes they could do that too.

wtnhunt Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Re: What\'s killing all these fawns? After looking at that pic Bond, I would not rule out a coyote. Have seen the works of them here too many times and they usually go for the guts first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Re: What\'s killing all these fawns? Thought I had deleted this one, but went back and checked and found it. Here is my first bowkill Bond. The coyotes found her before I got down from my stand within 30-45 minutes after I shot her. Didnt realize when I heard them, that my doe had gone that far and that they could have found her that fast. Had trouble following the does trail in the dark, so held off for the next morning. I found the doe the next day and this was what was left. The guts and hind end were pretty well eaten out of her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bond Posted June 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Re: What\'s killing all these fawns? Yeah I guess I shouldn't rule out coyotes. That looks a lot like what we've been seeing. It's just that all the other coyote kills I see are completely cleaned up within a few nights and then scattered across the woods or they atleast drag it a few yards. Hardly ever see them eat it in the deer bed... I talked to a guy from the Dnr today. He didn't really have an answer. He told me to send him a picture and that if I found another fresh one call him and he'll come out and look at it. I guess we'll see....

wtnhunt Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Re: What\'s killing all these fawns? The yotes had the opportunity to feed on that good sized doe overnight. I was pretty shoocked when I found her. Then last year, with my wifes input, we ruled my daughters first buck as a miss. Turned out she didnt miss at all. Unfortunately I heard yotes 3 or 4 days after she had shot the deer and I went back by myself and walked the river bed back and forth really searching, and thanks to some buzzards taking off I pinpointed the deer, or whay was left. Looked pretty well the same as this doe. Guts and rear end gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad dryden Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Re: What\'s killing all these fawns? Its hard to say what killed those deer. As around and see if any one eles is having this problome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll ask around but I think it's pretty isolated because we've only seen these on 200 of our 1200 acres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunting_boy Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Re: What\'s killing all these fawns? the reason i say what i say is because we had a case like this a few years back and it ended up being a mountain lion and it didnt kill after we found out what it was the game warden took it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bond Posted June 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Re: What\'s killing all these fawns? I never checked up close for bite marks. I posted a link to the pic a few posts back^^^ You can't really tell if there are bite marks or not. I will look on the next one I see.

Wild dog packs can be pretty dangerous, of course, bears and mountain lions are too. Hope you get some pics of whatever it is on your camera.
