First new born deer of the year

jm. · Jun 20, 2020

Got up early to do some welding on a build I am putting up and looked around and there was the first
new fawn for the year. Young thing was still wet and wobbly legged. Mama must have been right there
where I was working. Still no new turkey this year but there is the first fawn.

I saw my first about a week ago. Today saw my first moose calf running along trying to keep up with it's mother. Too far away for a good picture.

Most of them in N MN were born about a month ago, I jumped one last week while mowing with my Farmall C, it jumped up and ran real well. A couple of years ago I almost ran over one, it was almost under the tire before it jumped up. 53 years ago I ran one through the haybine about this time of year, what a mess! Where are you located?

That is strange to me , I would have thought father north would have been born latter in the year. I am located in middle Tennessee and this is about normal for this part. Always have to be very careful cutting hay for sure.

I have a doe with triplet fawns here. Fun to watch those little guys play.

Probably a 2nd rut fawn.

I'm still waiting to see my first fawn here in south-central Minnesota. I'm expecting see one soon, because I've seen a doe grazing by herself on the edge of the woods for a few days, and that usually tells me there's a fawn waiting to show itself. Last year at this time I had already taken a fawn to a wildlife rehabilitator after I found it with its injured leg stuck in a fence and no doe to be seen. (That fawn was recovering well for about 10 days, then inexplicably died; the rehab woman called me in tears to break the bad news.) Two years ago I took one to the same rehab woman after my neighbor found it starving near a dead doe. And twice in the last two or three years I've had to drag a dead doe out farther into the woods. It breaks my heart to see these beautiful creatures young and old struggle to survive.
