Fawns popping up here in Middle Tn

[kaizen leader]

Two new horns in the past 4 days.

 

[backyardtndeer]

That's cool. Sure there are some around here, but I haven't seen any yet.

 

[Iglow]

I saw one by the house that was no more than a foot tall the other day.

I quit cutting tall stuff a couple weeks ago out of fear of nests and fawns.

That's why I wait until August. Well, that and turkey nests and eggs and poults.

May 19th, I ran over a hen on her nest while mowing my plots. But I had to wait for the fall/winter/spring crops to fully seed and die, and that doesn't happen until May 15-20 each year, so that would be the earliest I can mow for summer plots.

 

[JCDEERMAN]

Had one in my yard 5/27

 

[knightrider]

Nothing gets cut till late july, early august on my lease

I've had two does in my backyard plot that we're ready to pop. They appear to now have given birth but haven't seen any younguns.

 

[BigAl]

Very cool. I've seen a few in our area but have yet to see one in the backyard.

 

[kaizen leader]

We've had three drop in the past week and I saw a doe ready to drop one any time or she will explode.

[kaizen leader]

Cool. I usually see twins here but not yet.

Saw a tiny dead fawn on I-40 yesterday.

 

[Iglow]

Me and the grandson were shooting bows Saturday afternoon, we saw 2 groundhogs and were sneaking up on them for fun and he touched my elbow and whispered "Pappy" then kinda pointed. It was about 10 feet away.

 

[Gravey]

Neighbor across the road said he's seen 2 little ones behind his house.

 

[Don'tDrinkTinks]

I had my first fawn pop up on my camera last night in my backyard plot. Itty bitty little thing.

 

[hunter0925]

First I have seen around the house this year just walked down the driveway

 

[PickettSFHunter]

I have more coyote babies and bear cubs than deer or turkey

 

[backyardtndeer]

Saw a little one with a doe while I was checking on cows just s little while ago.

I've heard few reports of fawns being hit over the last week by guys mowing waist tall fields here in SW TN.

I was driving through rural Hickman County a few days ago and saw farmers mowing their hay. My first thought was "Not now!"

 

[tellico4x4]

Saw our first yesterday in Wayne Co. Actually a couple weeks early for us.

 

[TNTreeman]

Mommas got her two little ones getting around pretty good.

 

[dogmatik]

Yet to see any on camera in Clay county, but also have not seen any does in a few days. Maybe they are tending to little ones at the moment.

 

[TNTreeman]

I had to do some tractor work today on about 5 acres for a corn plot but my daughter and I drove it slowly on a 4 wheeler before and glad we did. No turkeys but this little guy dug in and I had to nudge him to move on. Better safe than sorry.

 

[TNTreeman]

He was about the size of my 18 lb Boston Terrier

Mid-west GA on my place. This doe & another with 2 fawns are using my fields regularly now. They both dropped about 5/31. You'll have to click on the photo to see the fawn.

Maybe an explanation of my location. I'm a born & bred Tennessean (west). Had a farm for years on the Hatchie River east of Middleton & spent most of my fall & spring seasons there (after moving to GA in the 80s). Had the farm primarily to have opportunities to regularly see my family in TN & N MS - and for love of hunting & fishing that area. Unfortunately family in that area are all gone now & I have 6 children & 17 grand children now all in GA, so I sold the Hatchie farm, scaled back & spend most of my time in GA - but still a Tennessean forever.

Just saw a momma with twins in Rhea County this morning. Looked to be a couple weeks old.
