They have not been pushed away by the time fall rolls around. Matter of fact, one of the signs I look for is groups of fawns wandering around bewildered. This means that a buck may have run them off from their mother(s) so he can breed her. Bucks prefer to breed in private so no intruders can steal his mate. Lots of times the mother is near by and so is the buck. This is a good time for a fawn distress call. It may bring the doe running to check the fawn with buck right behind her. When the doe pushes her buck fawn away is usually in the spring when she is closer to giving birth. Doe fawns are not pushed away. Does and their female offspring form family units. I've seena doe with her last years fawn ( which is now 1 1/2), and they each had new offspringwith them from this year. You know, Grandma with 2 new babies and daughter with her new baby. BTW, usually a does first pregnancy results in a single fawn. That fawn is usually a male. I forgot the percentage of that, but I think it's 80 of 90 % that it will be a buck. After that, the next pregnancies usually result in twins which are 50% male, 50% female. Does usually always take the best area available ( core area ) for fawn rearing. So sometimes if you shoot the right doe you can get a buck to take over its area. Like pihunts has stated above. I hope I didn't confuse you.
