It's not unusual to hear the buck grunt. They are ready, the does are not and bucks and does are very vocal. I've grunted in bucks from the first day to the last day. Saturday we had a 4 point grunting up a storm scent checking the does in the field.
Are the fawns you saw button bucks? I only saw one fawn/yearling alone, it was a button.
Although it's not unusual to see fawns alone, at least where I hunt.
2 of the 5 were BB's. Its not unusual for me to see fawns by themselves, even fawn Does, I see it every year. I just dont see so many fawns by themselves this early without seeing any adultDoes around. I watched the fawns come out of a thick bedding area and move into hardwoods feeding on Oaks. Not 1 Doe was behind them after 3 hours. I havent been seeing many deer compared to the past 10 years. Im thinking about putting a camera and corn back out just to see whats going on.
