Early Fawns

[Davy Crockett]

Seems early to be seeing fawns. I almost stepped on one two days ago just a few feet into some tall grass in the yard I backed out and it was still there , told my wife to go take a quick picture and not hang around but it was gone by the time she got there. Could be that the doe came and got it right away when I left.

Yesterday I was turning around with a trailer and backed about a foot into some tall grass saw one in the mirror jump up and run. I'm used to seeing newborn right around Fathers day, I can set my clock to it and they are still so young that they would lay there and get run over. Hope it's that way all over, some years they are late and get run over with haying equipment. Might be a good crop of fawns.

Always 1st week of June in Northern MN. When I was at the Golf course a while ago a Doe dropped one on the edge of the 18th fairway at MN National 10 minutes later, they were heading out

I had a Doe and 2 Fawns walk thru the yard on May 30th. They couldn't have been more than a day or two old.

I saw a really tiny mule fawn Wednesday. Looked like it could barely run

Must be a location/climate thing because it's early for here.

Now would be a GREAT time for the coyote eliminators to hit those mangy, butt sniffing, fawn killers REALLY HARD!! It would be the best thing IMO to assist their local deer populations. Then post pics and give this old grey beard a smile.

I've shot 3 coyotes in the past week.

But they were Mn ones so not much help to you fellas.

Nope, but it helps your deer and deer know how to swim. (Grin)

Why did they close the night thermal is what I have a hard time figuring out

Haven't seen any deer fawns yet, but do have a cow elk and calf on camera for about 3 weeks now. Have had camera in this area for about 12 years and never seen anything but deer and 2 years ago a bull elk showed up and last spring a cow showed up and now have cow and calf on cam but haven't seen the bull this spring yet. Also for the 1 time ever have a moose on camera, looks like a young bull. I really enjoy seeing what will show up on the trail cams. Waiting for the deer fawns for show up.
