Gary: do you know the age of the fawn?

Our backyard doe had hers on June 4-5 but I still haven't seen the fawn even though I see mama on a regular basis. I don't know if she is still hiding it or the local thugs (coyotes) got it.

Nothing sweeter in the world than a weebly fawn! And the doe! How red, vibrant and elegant! Quite a sight.

Gary: do you know the age of the fawn?  

MY guess less than a week?
When The mother got spooked the fawn would lay down in the field all I could see was its ears sticking up. then get up and run after it mother. Then lay back down...
First time I have ever saw one do that..
It was neet to watch its survival instincts!

My first sighting was just about 12 days ago, just outside the small cemetery near my home. I was driving home and before I even saw the doe (she was pretty nervous!), I saw this little bitty (weebly!) still wet fawn stumble around trying to stand, and then went right to momma's udder and started punching it with it's little nose.

A week later, while surveying some land to the north, I came upon the body of a newborn fawn lying in the backyard of one of the neighboring properties. There were no dogs, and although there are a lot of coyotes the neighbor later told me that the doe gave birth there but then ran off, leaving the fawn, and when they called the DECon (okay, DEC) office they were told to just leave it, we have too many deer as it is. So, they did... I've seen 4 other fawns since then, all in good health. I've gone many many years between fawn sightings in the past, but it seems nowadays more and more, and so far just this year I've seen more than ever in any two years prior. Maybe this year I'll get out hunting more!

Thanks for the pics, WW, I never seem to have my camera with me. It's nice to be able to keep on looking.

"Showing off the new baby".  

This photo was taken on June 23, while she was approx. 50 (or so) yards out from our back porch.
