how many fawns you seeing?

[CouesWhitetail]

Hi all,

 

I was out archery hunting yesterday. Went with a friend and we glassed in the morning and saw several does and fawns. Didn't see twin faws, but several singles and they were very playful, kicking their heels up and running all over. Cute little things. I have seen at least one set of WT twin fawns and also one set of MD twins on another trip.

 

I am wondering what you guys are seeing for fawns? Looks like a good year for deer reproduction to me.

 

In the late morning we went and sat some water. My buddy took a shot at a 2 point at 45 yards but missed. The only deer I had come in to my area snorted and took off before I even saw it . I was hoping to have a lion come in to the water but no luck.

 

I am leaving today for my elk hunt in 6A north. Can't wait!!! Good luck to all the archery deer and elk hunters!

Amanda;

I haven't gotten out near as much as I had planned yet this year so I am also curious about the fawn survival. I had high hopes for the next couple of years because last Nov in 36B I saw more fawns than I had seen in any of the previous 8. Also every fawn I saw was a twin. I was hoping that trend would continue and the rains would fall this year. My hopes are not so high now with the drought showing little sign of relenting.

I saw many many fawns on the Kaibab early this month on a scouting trip. In fact, I saw more deer up there that weekend then I had seen up there since they started the doe hunts 4-5 years ago.

I saw quite a few MD fawns in unit 7. I saw 2 does that had 5 fawns with them I watched them for 10 min. and never saw another adult so I don't have any idea where the spare fawn came from.

I have had several pairs of twins come into my tree stands. Looks like a good crop this year....

In 32 while scouting I saw 5 MD does all with twins, only one lone doe had no fawn. Then later that day saw 3 does with 5 fawns.

I failed to find ANY coyotes were at least one is seen. Some one did a great job on the coyotes before I got there, I was happy about that!

 

Amanda, I hope you do great with the elk in 6A! I know you will have a great time!

 

 

More than a month away and I am already getting excited!!

While MD hunting this year about half the does I saw had twin fawns. Never saw a doe with one fawn only, that was unusual. Elk scouting I've seen lots of young ones as well. It does look like a better than average for the deer and elk.

Down south in 34A I have seen an unusual amout of fawns. Seen many sets of twins. Real little guys. And a couple Mule Deer fawns here and there.

It seems there are alot of twin fawns in the areas I hunt for coues, Ive also been hunting the mulies and have yet to see any sets of twins. Some fawns, yes, but no twins.

About a week and a half ago, I saw a doe off the side of a road in 35a. She was standing in some tall brush and right next two here were three tiny little guys all with spots. Amazing site, I just wish I had my camera.

I saw a mulie doe with 3 fawns the other day. I was shocked. It is so good to see little ones. Maybe in a few years the population will be better than it is now.

 

Later,
