Fawn sightings

[Zag]

Has anyone seen alot of fawns this yr. I haven't seen one. Ive seen a bunch of doe in the fields with no fawns nor have I seen one dead on the road.

I've seen a few live ones and one dead one.

I was at camp 8P last weekend. Had two on the cam and while walking ran into a doe with two fawns. Also saw one dead on 17 headed towards Bath.

I haven't put any cameras out yet, but have seen one doe/fawn down in the driveway a few times. I have to get the cameras back out and see what the heck is going on around me.

Got a picture of this little guy on my property from 2 days ago.

I have 2 sets of twins and a couple of singles so far...but have really not had time to go on over half the property...... so down by the streams and in the bottom swamp I have no idea how many more....

[Curmudgeon]

I keep bumping them as I work around the property. Some can run really well. On Sunday I came across one while it was nursing. When Mom ran, it tried to keep up but was still wobbly - tiny too. It must be very young.

[WNYBuckHunter]

Ive seen a bunch.

[wooly]

I've seen a few around here so far, but not nearly as many as past springs.

I kind of expected that though since we lost so many doe and yearlings this winter.

Have seen bedding areas of both mother and fawns. We have, I bet a dozen yearlings that were bred late .

[grampy]

In the field behind the house,we have this one doe we call big mama. I would guess she is at least six and a half years old. Was so glad she made it through last winter. The last four years she has had triplets. This year she has a single fawn. Not really sure if it's her age or the bad winter or any other factor, her having only one this year. I have seen only one doe with twins in my area so far. And seeing only a hand full of last years fawns that made it through the winter.

 

These observations are only close by my home. Three miles away on the farm property, it seems the deer fawns are closer to normal numbers.

[Curmudgeon]

Some of you must be way ahead of us if you are able to count triplets. I see does alone all the time. The only fawn I have seen with a doe was nursing, and a day or two old. If I hadn't been out and around the property tripping over them, I too might think the coyotes ate them all.

I have been seeing lots of fawns this week..

[Lever action]

I have seen quite a few but they have all been does with single fawns.

[Berniez]

Come on guys it's a bit early yet to see does moving with fawns.  Give it a few weeks  The Does you see alone probably have fawns within a hundred yards or so.  The fawns  need to get a bit stronger before they go around with Mpm.  You should start seeing them more frequently after July 4th.  So start driving carefully  especially when you see a doe on the street looking into the woods.  She is waiting for the fawns who make a habit of jumping in front of the car the instant your car obscures mama from them. They don;t want to be separated from mom and make that suicide leap into your car.

Be careful and good luck.

I haven't seen any yet but a friend of mine had one laying right on the double solid line, in the middle of the road a hundred yards or so from his house, Thursday morning. He stopped his truck and directed cars around it for a little while.He didn't want to try and touch it. The fawn eventually stood up and wobbled its way off the road and into some apple trees where it plopped down.

My buddy didn't see momma anywhere but Im sure she was around.

[Trial153]

Not many so far.....all singles

[ny hunter]

fawn sightings here in westchester are really off the charts this week.Even saw a few bucks with decent antlers.

[bkln]

Dutchess got them too, see them almost daily on the way to work....

[greensider]

i still have not seen one but i do not expect to with all the yotes in the hyde park area

[Pygmy]

I have seen what I would consider an "average" number...Perhaps a dozen or so in my day to day travels...Just yesterday I saw a doe with 2 fawns while mowing our property in Tuscarora...

[The_Real_TCIII]

Very few. I was thinking about that last night after seeing a bunch of does in the field without fawns

[thphm]

A few here , have not seen twins yet only singles here.
