Wasn't able to get a photo of it as it chased Mom up the trail in front of me but it was nice to finally see one. Actually, it was fairly big and was almost keeping up with Mom so it wasn't a newborn. Will have to check trail cameras for any recent photos.

Post up you photos if you have any...

I took this picture on my way home from our cabin on 5/16/21. The fawn could only get its hind legs up at this point. I took a couple pictures through my binoculars and got out because mom didnt seem to happy that I was watching.

Was riding a m/c from the storage barn to the training range at Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor about noon on Sunday when I passed a spotted fawn feeding in the cut grass in the large traffic island in front of the Morris Lawrence building. It ran into some shrubs on one side of the traffic island. Could have circled the island and spooked it out into the open but it seemed better to let it hide. Didn't see mama but she must have been nearby. Fun to see the little ones.

Pulled a few camera cards on the south end yesterday...

This collared doe had a fawn last year also but it didn't last a week before it disappeared.
I got photos of her and the fawn 3 days in a row. I got a few more pics of the doe after June 7th but she didn't have the fawn in those pics...

Unfortunately, I got more pics of coyotes - both day time and night time, than I got of fawns.

It doesn't look like we have much of a fawn crop this year from what I have seen (or haven't seen). Will pull some cards from the north end cameras soon and see what we have up there.

You need a good trapper for those yotes. My good friend Jerry takes around 16 of my UP property every year. He is in your county , but closer to Ralph and Felch. Really helped my fawns survival before I moved most of my Michigan deer hunting to Rose City. Private message me if you have any interest in connecting with him.
