They would more than likely circle it 3 or 4 times before coming within 100 yards or more depending on the surrounding cover and wind. Hit that bugger in late winter, early spring like Mercy said and you would probably have them coming in pretty hot and heavy.
I was taking a poll on one of our local forum down here and a lot of our local hunters said they see spotted fawns all the way up until February. We have about three different ruts down here in NW Florida. With that in mind when do you think would be the best time? The same time you mentioned or would it matter then?
