Title: First fawn.
Post by: blackymaster20 on June 17, 2023, 05:34:03 PM: Finnaly saw my first fawn of the year today and it looked only a couple days old. It seems like this year they have been dropping late. I've seen 3 elk drop their calfs about 3 weeks ago. What has everyone else been seeing and any thoughts on why it seems late?

Calves are doing great. Saw my first one on 6/2. Yesterday I saw 43 cows and 24 calves in one group.
