A lot depends on where your herd backgrounds are from.

Just had this conversation over the weekend. We are close - lots of very pregnant does. I guess in the next two weeks we'll start seeing fawns at my place.

Since our rut here is in September, we have fawns right now. There was one right outside my wife's office window last week in the middle of a kid's soccer field. After awhile, mom came back around and herded it back into the woods.

Re: Has anyone seen any baby fawns yet? - 05/05/18 12:05 PM

As the gestation period for a whitetail is 200 days and our rut in Dickens county is around Thanksgiving looking to see fawns the end of this month. If we don't get adequate rain they will abort or abandon their babies due to a lack of milk. We got an 3/4 of an inch at my place last week so I'm praying it will be enough to support them.

The doe I saw past weekend in Montague still pregs. Should start dropping thru mid June. It's lush so should be a good survival year.

I saw my first one in Montgomery county the other day. It was tiny. Very tiny. And dead on the road. I'm sure whomever hit it felt worse than me. First time a roadkilled deer affected me like this.

Re: Has anyone seen any baby fawns yet? - 05/23/18 04:35 AM

Our does are still fat in Montague as of today on the wireless camera. Gestation is around 200 days so we have a while since rut is Nov.

We had a Fawn trying to keep up with Mommie run across the back fence about 6PM today, on the 8 acre estate my place borders. What's surprising is they were in one of the areas along my fence where the owner keeps his "yard" mowed 1/2" tall...

Driving through the pasture the other morning, a doe came out of the bluestem and chased my dog. Pretty sure she had a little one nearby.

I have a doe on camera, she's the mother of "little blackie", a young nubber last season. I've seen her and she has dropped. Very slim now. We just keep water out and pretty much leave the deer alone this time of year.

Drive around the parks at Lake Belton. There are fawns laying everywhere. Looked like about half of the does had dropped.

Saw a little bitty fawn at Lake Bastrop on Sunday. Couldn't have been more then a few days old. It was standing in the road in the heat of the day as I drove by with my boat. Never did see mamma.

My dad came into work today and said there was a dead fawn on the side of our driveway at our woods so i went up there today and got a permit and put it in the freezer. Im not sure if the taxidermist can do much with it because i know it happened yesterday some time. My dad found it last last night.

At my place in Dickens county and as expected seeing new borns that were conceived around Thanksgiving. Looks like we got at least 3 individual storms dropping over 8 inches of rain. Just in time to support the wildlife that had less than 2 inches from November through the end of April. Dickens county is lush and green and should provide some great hunting for this season. Thank our Lord. Now for some more !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mature mama and twins were feeding down my back fence last nite for almost an hour, before the neighbors dog ran them off. Everbody was healthy and Mama was almost fat. Twins were still in spots, and "minded" mama to stay put while she grazed further down the fence until the dog showed up. Always enjoy watching Ma Nature's critters up close.

Does starting splitting up and not moving around to much about 2-3 weeks ago now here. I think there are some fawns on the ground but with recent rains everything has greened up and deer are moving at night more now also.
