Fawn Bawl
Does anyone know a website where i can download an audio file of a fawn bawl or can someone describe it to me. Ive heard to make it sound like a baby but for how long and how loud and so on. Thanks

RE: Fawn Bawl
If you're considering using this vocalization for bowhunting in the hopes of arrowing a doe...please reconsider.
What you are doing is fooling a doe into thinking that a fawn (or HER fawn) is in distress. What you're hoping for is that out of reflex, instinct, or whatever, she'll come running in to try to "rescue" the distressed fawn.
What you've now got is one extremely wired and jumpy doe that's on high-alert for danger. She'll most likely be jumping, hopping around, stomping, etc. She's not going to stand still, and she's probably going to go berzerk as soon as she hears the bow go off. If you do happen to run an arrow through her, she's going a country mile.
I double-lunged a doe earlier this year under similar circumstances...she went 350 yards. And when they cover that much ground, that fast, they don't exactly lay down a heavy bloodtrail. It was a loooong and tough tracking job. Never again.
For gun hunting (since you can drop them on the spot) and photography, I'd use it. Not for bowhunting.

I do mine in short bleats , it works great!
JRW is correct , but it depends on the vocalization you make. A repeated long drawn out bawl sends a distress signal to the nearest doe in the area , and yes , they come running in and are on loaded springs because they think a fawn is in trouble from a predator. The short bleat is more of a "mom I'm lost where are you" and brings them in at a slower more relaxed pace. I've actually had mature does call back to my bleats(probably saying I'm over here).
Do them short and maybe one every 30 seconds or so for a couple minutes and then lay off for awhile.
