Doe and Fawn

[electricstart]

Last year and now this year seeing a Doe with only one fawn . Used be Doe and two fawns rarely just one. Now it seems to be opposite .  Anyone else seeing this. Not in just one area or town .Predators I guess,

The only doe I had hitting the minerals last year had 2 fawns in June,  1 in July,  and none in August.  I get more pictures of bears, coyotes, and bobcats than I do deer.

Had a doe with 2 fawns on camera then a bear and the looked like the same doe with 1 fawn the next day.  Bobcats and coyotes in the area too.

coyotes are the #1 killer

Checked cams this morning.  One spot had a few doe but only one fawn between them.  Think it was hiding near the camera because it showed up by itself a few times and other times it was running past.  The other cam had a doe with 2 fawns(maybe the same two i mentioned before) and another doe with 1 fawn.  The must be hiding nearby too because they showed up a couple times without the doe

Deer herd possibly getting younger? 1st year doe often have single fawn, 2+ have twins.

Some recent results of surveys claim 65-75%  of fawns no longer make it through August .

way too much pressure from predators .

 

Those that do  survive are fawns from older does .

Finally saw my first fawn on my actual property today. Saw twins on the neighbors last week.  Nice to see the meat department restocking on my road 👍🏼
