Hard times on fawns

[redrover]

I went for a walk 6-24 and found a fawn leg  and some goose feathers. Looks like another good predator season in Upper Michigan

Yuppers, nature can seem harsh at times but that is the way it has been, is, and always will be....:)  those leg bones seem a little hard and tough to me as well....:)

Yeah, it's gonna be pretty harsh for the coyotes soon too. LOL

If you find a spot with some old bones or some fresh kills or if you kill anything and leave it this could be a good area to hunt......even after they have finished off all the meat or whatever they will continue to frequent that area to check on their "spot"........this is what I have found to be true.....

I've been pondering using a fawn decoy.
The danger is becoming  traveing circus with all the gear

seen lots of that stuff. dont mean to be rude but i dont think that it necessarily means really a good season. u just gotta see what games out there i guess!.

I don't think your rude at all Varmint Hunter.
But it's going to be a good season.
We went back a week later and a fawn was screaming about 100 yrds away
and there's been plenty of tracks.
I know you have foxes, but do you have coyotes in Australia?

Well, the results are in!
We got 27 coyotes between 3 hunters in a years time.

Last year while hunting we saw little to no yearlings with the does. This year with clear sailing for the fawns we had double fawns with nearly alll the does.
The coyote hunting got a lot harder with a lot less tracks in this area.

Looks like it may work to control predators in a given area.

i'll keep you posted
