Does and fawns are looking good this year.

Haven't seen as many twins as last year but I haven't seen a barren doe yet.

We are not seeing many ourselves. We had a very wet spring but then from May-July we had very little rain and 53 days of 100+ days. Then more rain at the end of July and August. We think the does just couldn't keep up with the fawns.

This was the report from the Chaparral wildlife WMA.

We are seeing lots of fawns. Lots of twins as well. Tried to shoot a doe this weekend but every one I saw in range had a fawn or two. And the Nannys that didn't wouldn't comit.

We were really wet through May and still got over an inch in June and July. Our pasture had plenty of grass throughout the summer. We did have outstanding fawn crops the last 3 years though. Our ranch said our pasture had 34% fawn survival. We sat in several stands this weekend and probably didn't see 25%.

We saw 38% fawn crop from the helo survey. No rain from May 15 to Aug 15 took its toll on the fawns.

This is by far the worst fawn crop in over a decade.

We have a 70%, which is what we had last year.

What kind of buck/doe harvest are you going to have this year?

Bump. Getting ready to make my first deer hunt on Saturday and I can't wait!


How's it looking down south? I haven't been down since September 20th.

Went pretty good. Set up 3 new stands and moved 3 feeders around. My dad got a target deer on the ground and I wiped out the two mature cull deer that I was looking for. My uncle Tim smiled and told jokes. It was a great weekend
