Typically, yes, they will find another mother to act as a surrogate/step mom, but usually it isn't a big issue, unless you're hunting a REALLY early season. Usually by the time seasons open, the fawns are pretty much taking care of themselves, just hanging around for security, kinda like we live with our parents from when we turn 14-18 or longer for some, when we're pretty much capable of fending for ourselves, but living at home makes it just that much easier. I do agree that it kinda helps them too, by putting the fear of man into them at a young age. If their mother gets shot, they get a real experience with man, they're probably sitting around somewhere watching what happens to her. Once, I drove for a buddy, he got a mama, and the fawn laid down beside the dead body until we got too close, then it watched us the whole time. That actual experience with man makes them more afraid of us than hearing a shot would, in a way, it makes them paranoid.

Yes, does do eventually run their sons off, because they don't want to breed them, so if they don't want to be in the same territory.

Screw the 10 ring, keep them in the zero!!!
