Title: Fawn bleats
Post by: seth30 on March 26, 2012, 08:06:33 PM: What time do the expert yote hunters here start using a fawn bleat? I am itching to try my fawn decoy out, but cant seem to rember when the does will give birth.

Fawn bleats will bring in the occasional kitty cat too.

Post by: seth30 on March 26, 2012, 08:58:18 PM: The many times I have used a fawn decoy I have only had one animal attack it or come in for that matter. I assume it was a bobcat but it happened so fast all I saw was a flash and my decoy was ripped out of the ground like it was kicked and I doubt it was a yote. Other than that just wishful thinking that I invested 30 bucks wisely :chuckle:

I second that, with a decoy even better.

Don't know if wild mule deer are different than pen raised, but the mulies over here at the WSU campus have dropped their fawns already. They are now probably a month or two old... :dunno:

Yeah that's way early. That would mean the does were bred around the first week of August, and everyone knows mule deer rut sometime in the first couple weeks of November.
