Found a Fawn

[Herzo]

Number of years ago, my cousin came upon one while mowing one morning. Mowed around it. At dusk that evening momma came across the field to collect it.

You can see I was less than 1 revolution of the tire from crushing this fawn. Thank goodness I saw it and slammed on brakes while bushhogging.

Yep, i have got a few mowing hay...sad

Sometimes they run right into danger... I don’t know how so many live through adolescents but they do. Was hunting a few years ago and 2 juveniles hanging around when 2 very healthy coyotes charged in a flew by me full speed after them. Everyone left in a hurry and I was sure they were doomed, back the next day to my surprise. Those long legs will run through brush the coyotes can’t.

I was hunting one year and a herd of deer ran right past my stand. Seeing a herd in thick Georgia woods was super weird. 20 mins later saw 3 coyotes trotting down the same trail after them. I don’t think the coyotes were ever going to catch them. Futile attempt, hopefully.

Found this one just outside the yard gate, probably the old yard doe. I swear I think she sleeps in the barn, grazes in the yard every morning and if my wife's dog gets too close to the little ones she will run her back to the porch... John

Absolutely. Even with me shooting on my range, it isn't unusual for a doe to occasionally leave a fawn hidden under a thick patch of pines about 70 yards west of my house. Obviously mama isn't hanging around while I shoot, but they sometimes leave them there of an evening. I keep my dogs away from there during early spring.

This old yard doe will walk right in front of me when I am shooting, you have to watch her. I think she believes she owns the place

We have a lot of deer at our gun club. They do act like they own the place. No hunting on the club grounds so they know they are safe.

Memorial Weekend last year.We actually walked right by it the first time. Had a Dalmatian and my Shepard with us. Dogs played fetch in the creek about 10 yards away .

Phone on my end would not show them loading at all when i tapped the insert image button.
I got all trigger happy and started smacking it like a 10/22 trigger.
