Once they get another month on them the does will let the fawns stay with them throughout the day. I have 7 milking does at my place right now One of them has twins with her part of the time. The rest hide out through much of the day in the tall grass/snow berrie bushes /timber.I watch the does in the evening searching for the fawns and calling them to come feed. Boy are they hungry after so much time alone.

Post by: Jonathan_S on July 07, 2021, 08:35:01 PM: :yeah: the discipline those fawns have to hold out when they are that hungry is impressive.

Have had a few run ins with fawns this spring. One was a whitetail fawn that got up to chase a biker. Watched that little doober find where he had come from and lay back down. The doe skulked in and they both left.

Other one was out scouting and it came up from behind. I thought I was a goner :yike:

I just wanted to post up and say sorry.
You are 100% correct .
Got a pic of her last night with a fawn.(not sure why the date didn't change but I can check this one daily)
The other mountain cam is still soaking since that date that's on the pic. I'm not hiking in to check it till bear season.
Thanks for posting.

Sometimes those raggedy, mangy looking April deer look on their last legs and then they raise up a set of healthy twins.
