left town, gone on vacation or gone vegetarian. I'm seeing more fawns than I have in years. Yesterday afternoon I sat on a green field on the back of my property that's on a big double powerline. Always had a lot of deer in the area, but some years saw very few fawns. Yesterday I saw 6 does that had 9 fawns with them. A few fawns still had spots but most had lost them.
I haven't killed but a couple of does there in the last several years because of the lack of fawns. I just don't shoot does with fawns. Looks like I'm going to have to whack some of the young does without fawns. I'm more of a watcher than a hunter at this spot and leave the does alone waiting for big daddy.
It's a good problem to have but you can have too many deer in a particular location.
