[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5190865, member: 17"] Last year at this time (late September), the fawn recruitment on my place was at 4%. Just 4%. Now it picked up later as deer from surrounding regions moved in, but it still was only 24% for the entire season. So far, this year the fawn recruitment is 58%. And that's with coyote populations at all-time highs. What's the difference? I suspect it is fawning cover. Last year, most of our timber thinned areas had regrown to the point they weren't adequate fawning cover, leaving only two power-line right-of-ways for cover. This year, we had 1/5 of the timber cut off the property in winter and those cuts quickly filled in with weeds (mainly fireweed and pokeweed) and provided great cover by early summer. Timber cut areas after only 6 months: [/QUOTE]
