Default 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.

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

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 ...
