Does dropping fawns?

[Rob]

I snapped this photo on 5/24.  I would have thought Does would have dropped fawns in the March/April time frame.  This doe sure looks pregnant. 

Are they just now starting to drop?

[Rob]

whoops, here is the photo

The first week of June is when you should start seeing fawns.

[Rob]

wow, they drop late.  I guess that gal in my photo was ready to drop.

[Rob]

Saw a brand new fawn monday night down in the Blues. Couldn't have been more than a couple days old.
Saw probably 100 does between muleys and whiteys and that was the only baby I saw.
Sorry no pics.

Here's one from Monday night, out in Issaquah.....

Not sure if they get any smaller then this

[Sumpnneedskillin]

200 day gestation bred the 1st of Nov. end of May 1st of June for the spotties. Now is a great time to hunt dogs and save the spotties.

Got pics of a lil guy up in those parts tonight.  Mama was feeding in a field and he was standing in the middle of the road.  I got out to get him off the road, and as mama must have taught him, he went 3 feet off the road and layed in the grass with his head down.

[bobcat]

How do you know it was a he? Did you look that close?   

[ELKBURGER]

Saw 2 newborns in goldendale on sunday. They're definitley dropping.

[Wazukie]

Yep they're droping.  Got this shot tonight.  We were about 10 feet from it when we took the picture, I about stepped on the little guy.  Also saw 4 bucks

Yeah i don't know what it is but those little guys like the road every year you see some dead on the side of the road up there.

Very nice picture, awesome....

I'm glad the rain stopped today, pretty soon its going to have an effect on fawns and turkey chicks if it doesn't let up over here for a week or two.

Haven't heard if there is more coming.

[Caseyd]

I was in Waitsburg and Dayton for the weekend and I didnt see a single fawn 

[bowhunterforever]

I saw 6 fresh muley fawns about 2 hours ago. 2 does had twins and the other 2 had singles. There was a coyote trying get one of the fawns and there was 2 other does chasing the yote around. The only day i didn't have the 204R in the car I'll get him next time

[carpsniperg2]

man that sucks, i saw one today also he was about 70 yards out and all i had was my 40 xdm he was just standing there    and i did not have a long gun

[kenbell27]

We found this one the other night in our back yard. Maybe it will grow up to be a monster buck.

[bonecrusher]

i saw two little guys today couldnt be more than a week old. looked like spotted cats runnin round mom

[PolarBear]

Wazukie, man the coloring on that fawn is beautiful. 
There were 4 does in my yard this morning and none have dropped yet.  I did see 2 new elk calves across the pasture the other day.  I tried to get pics but 500 yards is a little too far for my camera.  LOL!

[highcountry]

Seen 2 this week over here in Kitsap.

[robb92]

They are dropping here in Va and MD seen 10 so far on my way to work

[longstevo]

I saw three little fawns while working in east Clark Co. last week.  They're there. 

[Buschingc]

That last pic looks like a mean deer.. lol.

[Dslayer]

Saw one yesterday at the Andy Creek TH on Russell Ridge.  Doe trotted off and the fawn went right down.  My son saw the whole thing, first time he has got to see that act.  We went up on the ridge until we got stopped by snow on the Ironstone Trail.  Walked up on a couple of calves sleeping right off the trail, and we saw a plethora of adult elk.

Today in the Umptanum we saw nearly 50 deer but only two fawns, very small.  Saw a lot of lone does looking like they're looking for a spot to pop.  Walked up another pair of calves, too.  I'm not much of a flower guy, but the North side of Umptanum is spectacular right now to the point that I was ohh and aahing and my son was looking at me kind of funny. 

[runamuk]

Well didn't see any fawns today BUT saw quite a few tiny little bitty hoof prints on the game trails I was checking out so I should start seeing them soon.

[Axle]

Oh for heaven's sake! Don't say locations on these fawns! The ungulate haters will introduce wolves in those areas so they can eat up the little ones.

But keep posting pics

[brew]

i work out on McNeil Island and have the opportunity to drive around periodically and see the sights.  Fawns are dropping like crazy out there.  Unfortunately can't bring a camera out to take pics due to security reasons.  That Island has about 4600 acres and its quite a wildlife sanctuary.  There's been a bear out there that swam over from the mainland but i've not heard any sightings recently.  Biggest buck i've seen out there is a 8X6 blacktail with double drop tines.  He was standing right next to the road eating blackberries and I was about 60 feet from it.  Instinctively I reached for any weapon I might have but only came up with a ball point pen.  just sat there and shook my head at his size.....wow !

[Curly]

The doe in our yard dropped her fawn about a week ago.  The afterbirth was over by the garden....

I've only seen the little guy (or girl) for a brief moment on Sunday and wasn't quick enough with the camera.

[BLR 243]

They finished haying our front pasture today and I was watching the turkey vultures some were sitting in the pasture by the drive, when a spottie (fawn) comes loping up from the woods and across the drive, tongue hanging out and wet. I dont know who was chasing him but I grabbed my rifle and went to stop the threat, I didn't see a coyote which is who i suspected or lion, but I'm still standing watch. I won't tollerate predation on my fawns if I can help em.

[fremont]

Sure glad you guys with cameras aren't yotes or black bears.  Can't believe you got that close.  Where were the mamas?

[PolarBear]

Got 2 new fawns this morning in the pasture.

I drove over hwy 410 pass yesterday morning . I saw more than 50 elk & all had calves ( one and two each ) . I saw 12 deer and not a single fawn . They could of been hiding but the does still looked fat. The elk seemed pretty scrawny. One thing that was weird is I saw 2 big bulls on the west side fully developed, both over 5 pt per side but on the east side I saw 5 bulls and all were just starting to develop. All the bulls were just above the ears , starting to branch with balls on top. If the west side bulls develop anymore, they will be toads. Mike
