Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting First 2022 Fawns

Saw our first mule deer fawns behind the house a couple days back. Several more and some pronghorn kids too on yesterday's firewood trip.





Have a good one,

Yep, all over the place.

I've been seeing them all over as well!

Do any of youse guys know if birthing fawns stoves up mama for a day or two? We bumped into a new mom with just one tiny fawn last week, steep as hell, and she flat did not want to get off the road. I shut off the jeep to give her time, but she just ambled down the road a ways, then I rolled the jeep after her a couple times, then finally after 300 yards or so she and fawn eased up the bank, she showing some gimp and stiffness.

I haven’t seen any yet, should be soon.

Saw one yesterday just barely running well. Mom was moving ok.

They seem to be out in numbers just north of Katy.

A little doe with triplets was a rare sight.

Saw one up and walking here late last week.

Popping out all over here in Western Kentucky.

1minute: Great pictures there thanks for sharing.
I live (and Hunt) at 5,400' and have just in the last 3 days started seeing fawn Mule Deer, Whitetailed Deer and Antelope.
Have not been into the high country recently so haven't see any calf Elk as yet.
Yesterday the VarmintWife and I were sitting out on our front porch and in the field adjacent to our home we saw a Doe Antelope trotting directly at us from maybe 600 yards away.
Alongside her was a tiny fawn that was keeping up with her - then as if the mother was teaching the toddler how to turn/veer she began doing so and the tiny fawn was obviously trying to do the same as it ran along beside the mother.
I am so thankful that our recent VERY unsettled weather (snow, sleet, cold rain, high winds and cold nights!) here in SW Montana have moderated and turned more spring like - I am sure this weather normalization has saved hundreds/thousands of fawns and calves hereabouts.
Thanks again for the great photos.
Nature is inspiring to me.
