Fawns are dropping. I found this little guy in my woods today. He was tiny. Now is not a good time to mow those overgrown fields or burn off some tall grass. There could be one of these guys hiding there. Ain't he cute.
Really cool John. I have been hearing a lot of deer in the woods behind my house lately. I hadn't heard much action for months until about two weeks ago. The back of my hill that leads down to the creek is thick with some good hiding spots. I was playing with my dogs tonight and saw two does jump up and run. I bet they have some little guys with them out there. On another note, I almost crushed a big bodied buck last night. Was driving 50mph when I saw a flash of red/brown and a developing rack run across the road right in front of my truck. Slammed the brakes and missed that buck by only 5-10 feet. Be careful out there is right!

Here is what my friend saw jump out at him-
