This wasn't meant to be funny I'm sure, but I laughed really hard reading this reply! The funniest thing I've read in a long time. Thank You Red Lion!

And to get back on topic I agree with most of you guys here, 89 fawns in one field at one time all getting butchered sounds a bit fishy to me.

I've run fawns through a conditioner cutting hay before. You don't even notice it when it happens. You might see it the next round laying in the wind row. I think if I ran 89 of them through my haybine, I'd probably notice at least 30 of them. I'd go slower, but, you got to get the crop out.

No way I'm believing this one. Sure...maybe a couple get it, but anymore than 5 and I'm callin cough.....B...S...cough.

Wow, that is crazy! How big is this farm. It must be huge if they killed 89 fawns...sad to hear..

well a couple of years ago I hunted w/ an outfitter in Montana. the Night we arived he told us we would all be hunting "the bean field". Alll of us I replied, yep all of ya. He said, turns out 365 acre bean field, Now thats a field!!!!

LOL like Burbaust99 did, and I agree, if you hit one of them in August, you're going to know it. It ain't going to be a little bump and crunch. Those little skulls are pretty hard at that time, and would raise some concern if you were hitting on about every 100 or so yards as you were cutting. Those little skulls would do a little damage to the cutting head after about 50 or 60!!!

Ed,
I think some one may have told a big fish/deer story. My father-in-law farmed nearly 600 acres for many years here in OH, and killed a deer or two per year max, some years he didn't kill any.
