Thread: Shooting red hinds

We watched 3 pairs of hinds/fawns on Sunday night. Watched one pair for a good 1.5 hours. All fawns were hard out eating grass and leaves just like mum for the whole time. Never saw any of the fawns feeding off mum at all, so im picking if they are not fully weaned yet, the weaning is well underway. So im sure the fawns will survive without mum, but they just probably wouldnt get the best start to life with no one to show them the ropes etc.

Heres a little video footage of 2 of the pairs.

Our patience paid off, with a couple of spikers coming out right on dark, so my mate managed to encourage one to come home with us ;-)
