Its true.
I live close to the Spokane and not far from the Colville Res's.
Now back to the topic, I've been seeing quite a few fawn's out there guys. Deer numbers might be down a bit after two hard winters, but, depending on the survival ratio of these births, and the coming winter, we shall see what happens.
Harassment of fawns leads to smaller survival ratios, and by what everyone here is replying I'd say the word is out.
How I explained it to my son;
There is a fawn, you find it in the grass, and it jumps-so you chase it. It thinks YOU are going to kill and eat it so, how far and fast are YOU going to run if you think something is going to kill and eat you? You would run as far and fast as you could till you dropped from sheer exhaustion.
You would not be able to go any farther, and your heart would be to the point of exploding...but maybe not quite....then you get caught.
When you laid down, you had given up, but the fear would still be there.
This all equals to stress. Stress that their bodies may not be able to recoup from.
Stress kills.
