Yes in hindsight we messed up, we watched it for a little while and didnt think it had a fawn.

Best thing is look for a suckled udder. I could see it in the less than clear footage. I could also see from the 'form' of the animal that it was an adult hind not a yearling. 95% + of adult hinds will have a dependent fawn now.

It’s easy to see lots of things on the zoomed video playing on a phone, not so easy through binos or a scope. Definitely not easy through the camera even at full zoom.
Lou will be stoked with his gunsmithing I guess his lathe runs true
Cool vid

Yes exactly right, even with 20x scope at that range these details are not obvious to the untrained eye.

Even when viewing the little screen of the camera when zoomed up 100x or even 200x due to the low resolution of the camera screen details are not that obvious.

Different story when you have the benefit of watching on a HD screen or large computer or tv screen.

We are also not deer experts, we were however 100% positive that it was made out of meat, and upon cutting it up we were correct.
