Fawns are dropping!

She looks pretty calm too. I had a friend who picked one up during harvest and put it in his truck because it kept running into the uncut part of the wheat each time the combines came around. About an hour later, the inside of that Dodge looked like a grenade had gone off inside there.

I'll bet it was ugly!

Shot a rabbit once with the .22 and thought it was dead. Put it in a bucket in the back of my brand new beige interior Bronco, and went after more.

I guess it was just wounded and stunned. When it came about, the inside of that SUV looked like a crime scene.

From that point on, I stepped on their head and pulled it off.

She was calm as could be, bleated a few times, then just sat on the console and licked my hand. Sat in the truck for nearly an hour and never flinched.

Very cool. Did you see mom anywhere about?

 

[r00s7a]

No. Had riders on horseback that got there before I did and probably pushed her out, but I'm sure she wasn't far away. I've always wanted a pet deer, and first fawn I've ever found, but after hearing those little bleats you'd have to be a gutless monster not to send her back to momma.

 

[dennishoddy]

True. Keeping one requires a license, as I'm sure you already know.

True. A pair of fawns playing while momma watches over them is a wonderful thing to watch. I'm sure you know that too.

Roosta - you are an old softy. I really doubt you were lickin your lips.

Five doe and five fawns seen today.......no twins. Couple of them were jackrabbit size.

 

[dennishoddy]

Sadly, there will be several of the fawns end up in combine headers.

Or have their little legs cut out from under them by sickle cutters, when guys are cutting hay....
