Fawns??
« on: May 27, 2013, 08:51:33 AM »
I just realized that we had not seen any fawns yet this year.  Anyone seen any?

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Usually the first week in June, so it may be anytime now.  For rut planning, count back ~200 days and you can loosely figure out when does were bred in that area  ;)

We were at the beach this weekend and got back last night. Got up for coffee this morning and looked out the window and across the way saw mom and new baby. Look's to be born this weekend. She usually has two so I don't know what's going on but this looks healthy. I was watching her the other day and she was running the yearlings off so she was letting them know it's time to be on their own. I just hope this one survives.

Been seeing them for over a week now.  Just born.  They are still shaky when walking.

I have not seen any yet but heard of a few being seen around the area. It would be better for all if they could wait until the weather warms up a bit anyway.

Fawns??

I've seen newborn fawns the last 3 years Memorial Day weekends down outside of Pomeroy. Didn't go this year but we're going in 2 weeks. We'll see what we see then. They surely would be out and about by then.

My husband saw twin blacktails on I-5 between Lynden and Seattle (going to the Mariner's game) today!  I rode horse all weekend in the hills and never saw a one!

None of the Doe we seen this weekend had fawns yet in Winthrop, but the doe have chased away the yearlings for now so they must be close. Up on sweetgrass Saturday night we seen 6 deer together, all yearlings.

It's early yet.  Wait a week or a week and a half, then they'll be poppin' out.  I've been seeing a lot of very pregnant does . . . both Mulies and Whitetails.
