You're right Troy...I figured I would put a about -215 days into the formula, so that should give us about a +/- 1 week from conception.

You won't get them on camera much. They spend 95% of their time bedded for the first few weeks, and don't move around with mother. Even in October, their visibility on camera is much less than their prevalence in the woods. Take a look at this study that a student of mine did.

When I start seeing hollow gutted does, I'll know that fawning has started. Right now they all still have a belly full. I also figure that the doe groups will start busting up, won't they? Surely they will spread out to fawn.

I sure hope thats true. It rained, hard, yesterday on my place in Wilcox county and there was tracks all over today, but no fawns.

Interesting read Dr D. and I would agree that fawns will be bedded up mostly for their first few weeks. I should also include other evidence of fawning in my experimental endevor, such as pics of does that exhibit physical charateristics of post birth. Those might be more prevelent than actual pics, or sightings of fawns. However, based on sales market data and personal observation, camera numbers in the woods are increasing every year. I use a lot of cameras without baiting to monitor throughout a property and I feel cameras along with individual observations could provide a small sample group for my data plotting.

I saw a very small one ran over two weeks ago by my house. Shelby Cty.

Yes...you can get a smalls sample, and anything that you do to collect data can only help you to be more informed. But, the reason that I posted those data was to let you know about the potential bias...and potential for misleading information in this case.

Good luck with the surveys.

Don't sweat it yet. You shouldn't be seeing any fawns, with the exception of the odd one here and there.

Look at it this way...if you could see them, then so could the coyotes.

I believe they will be dropping soon and this one may have already. The first picture shows how large the doe is, and in the second picture it looks like she's "making a sack" meaning that the she's ready for milk production.
