Not seeing any fawns
 
I've been to my lease twice in the last two weeks and I haven't seen a single fawn. No tracks or not even any pics on my trail camera. I'm in North Texas, should I be seeing them by now?

Also i've seen a lot of does but no fawns with them and they don't look like they about to have one either.

They are out there. I unfortnuately ran over one with a haybine.

I'm seeing them here in Central Texas.
Of course, I'm using a spot light to look for them.
(legal as long as you do NOT have a firearm in the vehicle,and I let mylocal Game Warden know whatI'm doing.)

yeah the mothers (does) are probably not taking them out in the open and teaching them yet, they are probably teaching the neccessities

I hope so. I guess they may be to young to eat corn right now because thats where I have my trail camera and theres no pics of fawns but a lot of pics of does.

same here--lots of does around that look real skinny like they have just dropped and are adjusting their weight, but no fawns to be seen. I also put some corn in front of a camera and no pics of any. The one fawn that I have seen was dead on the side of the road right next to our property. I bet they are just not moving around much since they are still most likely pretty young--the one I found was tiny. They will be wondering around soon, I bet.

I was mowing one of my pastures along a woodline and jumped a fawn. I have also seen some tiny tracks crossing the roads of my lease, but the does are not bring their babies out much yet. I am in eastern Texas.

I know I'm gonna hate myself in the morning for this , but ...



May I reccomend a book on the life cycle of the whitetailed deer ? I found it most illuminating personally ... ;)
