Ok, Who is our Expert Fawn Person here in the PGC Forum??
Reason I ask.....
Today, a Buddy and I went out to put up a new ladder stand he got and to place my climber for the up coming season, on our other buddy's property...
We both drove our trucks out into the field....I was ahead of my buddy...I get to the mid point in the feild and parked...stepped out and he was coming up behind me, off to the passenger side of my truck....
I took 2 steps toward the front of my truck and a fawn bolted out of the grass...
At first, I thought it was a fox that had been laying in the tall grass, sunning itself... but as it looped away, I saw that it was a DEER FAWN and could not have been more then 20 pounds and looked to be no more then 2-3 weeks old, no were near over a month old!!!
We both looked at each other and said "I, I, I, I thought it was a fox at first, but then saw what it really was...NEVER Have I Seen a Fawn that small and this late in the year!!"
So.....When did the doe get bred?
And
Has anyone ever seen a fawn that small at this time of the year?
If I had not stopped were I did, 4 more feet and I would have run right over that fawn!
