This morning I saw the first fawn of the year. If I did the math right, that would have her being bred around October 23ish. It will be interesting to see if more fawns start showing up early after all the reports of the early rut last fall.
I saw my first 2 the middle of last week. Fawns are proving what I saw and many saw about an early rut.This morning I saw the first fawn of the year.

Saw tracks the other day, that were tiny. I saw a ton of daytime activity this past year between Oct. 23-31 from big bucks. they were almost all with a doe. Lot of people on here said last year that it seemed to be an early rut.This morning I saw the first fawn of the year. If I did the math right, that would have her being bred around October 23ish.

Interesting....what general area are you in where the majority (or most) does are bred in January and February?I will not see a fawn till the last week of july but most drop in late August for us.
Southern middle on the Alabama borderInteresting....what general area are you in where the majority (or most) does are bred in January and February?
In northern middle we saw a slightly earlier rut with the peak near end of October or very early November.
Normally we see the peak more early to mid-November....so reports of fawns hitting the ground now align with what we experienced last fall.
Makes more sense now...Thsnks.Southern middle on the Alabama border
Parts of NW Alabama have always had heavy rut activity in mid to late January.Southern middle on the Alabama border
