Thread: Telling if a hind has a fawn.

@Tahr I always remember when I shot that hind up on the Rangi tops. Tony told me to shoot the fawn that was with her. There was a yearling hanging around too. Now I can’t even remember if I shot it or whether Tony did. I suspect he shot both the yearling and fawn. I also remember that you both explained that fawns don’t do very well if left to their own devices at that age. That was early March from memory.

Of note my brother and I shot a fawn (stag) on the 27th of December in the Ruahines in a river bed. We had this very conversation. On inspection of the gut bag it was very full of grass (or similar). At the time I thought it was a lighter looking green than usual and I presume that would be due to milk from mum.
