[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5825274, member: 2805"] Has fawn recruitment changed over past 3 years? That will change populations faster than anything, even 'earn a buck' harvests. By a stroke of luck, in 2022 coyotes had an outbreak of (I'm assuming distemper) on my main farm. Fawn recruitment went from 15% 10 year average up to 50% that year. We made a concerted effort to not let any reestablish as survivors moved in... taking 24 dogs in 2023. Fawn recruitment this year was 110%. Strange thing though... bobcats have taken over (we have killed 4 this deer season), and we have lost quite a few fawns since the spots have come off. We haven't shot them, not sure if the neighbors are the culprit, the bobcats are the culprit, or what... [/QUOTE]
