    Default Fawn recruitment

    The numbers look real good here. Most does have two fawns with them, even with a decent yote population around. Damn glad to see this.

    We saw 6 or 7 fawns this year, with two sets of twins. Only ID'd one buck out of the bunch, but haven't seen half of them in the last 6 weeks or so, so they could be showing buttons like the one here that hangs around the place does.

    Ive got three sets of twins at my place. Ive watched them all summer on camera and in front yard. Future tacos and chili

    I had one pretty late one year. Somebody told me it was from having too heavy of a doe population. Not sure if there is any truth to that theory.

    Too many does and too few bucks to breed means a doe may not get any alone time when she needs it and has to wait until she cycles again.

    I have one that looks like a cow, she might be close to 140 herself.
