Fawn encounter

Had 2 fawns stay right in the middle of the road this weekend while mama watched from the woods. One of em kept following me back to the jeep and wanted to go with us. Def a cool encounter for sure. Hope they make it!!

Cool. That’s a lot better than my fawn encounters so far this year.

That's awesome! Good times

What were yours like? Bush hog?

Nice

Kuhn cutter, parts slung everywhere. Almost got another one with the track loader, thankfully it moved right before I hit it.

I think the one on the left is a shooter.

In north Alabama they are both shooters come opening day

Would make two nice little handkerchief hides.

Cute little suckers. Crazy to think a coyote would even full with them. They don’t look like they’d have much meat on em.

What a neat experience

Would of been a good un next year.

That's cool right there!

Cool

Thats cool...shoulda tagged it somehow lol

Odds are at least one of them is coyote scat by now.

Maybe one of the resident biologists can chime in,but according to a friend of mine that runs a deer farm down here,he told me that these appeared to be 3 days old. Coincidentally,I was I at his farm this past Monday, and he has 13 fawns on the ground now,ranging from 3 days to 8 days old,and these were right on par with the size and mannerisms of his youngest. He also said if a fawn makes it past the 3 day mark,shes less likely to succumb to death for health complications,so that was encouraging. I maybe see one or 2 yotes a yr on our place. See way more Bobcats usually. I believe they'd be just as hard on em in my neck of the woods. We'll see. Definitely something I'll never forget

That is awesome.

Looks like a late Feb rut.
