Few Fawns

[Chimpy]

I shot deer #7 tonight, all does, and this one like the others had no milk sack. This seems rather unusual to me. Are you guys finding the same? It just seems weird that all 7 didn't have fawns. I guess they could've died, but seems odd to me.

Dam, you are laying them down! The doe I shot tonight was dry as well.

Already killed 7 this year? Damn..

I have not gotten many fawn pics this year and most of the does I see with fawns only have one.

This post reminds me of my old farm in a unit L county in TN , you could kill 3 does a day for the whole season..

Now that you mention it, I have seen more does with no fawns this year than in years passed. I've seen several fawns, but I probably have as many lone does as those with fawns....

That's surprising to me. Have a cam in an area that got slammed in 2017 with EHD. Same doe had twins last year and triplets this year. Maybe nature just finds a way.

My cameras every year show show hardly no fawns. Been this way for about 5yrs... I blame it on the coyotes and bobcats. Not sure if it’s the cause of lack of fawns or not?? But every week I check cams, and every week I have coyote pictures.

I have seen several fawns, but not as many as in years past. The doe I killed tonight was a very nice doe - no reason for her not to have a couple fawns. If a doe loses her fawn/fawns, does her milk dry up?

This year we are seeing twins and triplets in Ohio Co. Every doe...twins or trips

Now that you mention it, I think I've only seen one or two fawns on camera.

On my property, I have a Doe with twins, and a few more Doe with Single Fawns. Last Winter, I saw several nice Bucks, but haven't seen very many this past Summer/Fall. Rut is still a bit early, and they should start chasing soon. This past Summer has been rough on Deer.

0 fawns on camera this year. Was just talking about this at work.

I just think it’s awesome that you said “milk sack”.

One fawn on camera all year.
