Usually about this time, last week of May, fawns start showing up.
What says the Green Screen? Pics if ya got’em

doghouse · 05-27-2022, 08:23 PM

Haven't seen a new born in Mills county. Does hide them for a few days. Maybe by next week or the following week.

Bowtech38 · 05-27-2022, 08:24 PM

Bunch around belton. Few set of twins also

Walker · 05-27-2022, 08:30 PM

2 brand new this morning in my yard in Leon Valley. Still wobbly legged.

Drycreek3189 · 05-27-2022, 08:31 PM

Not yet, but I haven’t looked at my sd cards in a while.

aggie182 · 05-27-2022, 08:32 PM

Boatloads in our neighborhood.

parkchief100 · 05-27-2022, 08:34 PM

I saw one nursing her mother, down below out swimming pool in the woods. That was last week.

ThisLadyHunts · 05-27-2022, 09:07 PM

After seeing nothing all month, I’ve seen two different fawns. As Bowtech38 said, I have seen no twins yet either.

Strummer · 05-27-2022, 09:09 PM

Had a doe with twins in my back pasture this evening.

1riot1ranger · 05-27-2022, 09:09 PM

none yet but thinking any day

fish4food · 05-27-2022, 09:28 PM

Finally saw one in the back yard today.

Have lots of other does in the area, but only once fawn confirmed.

Shurshot · 05-28-2022, 10:31 PM

Still about a month out for us. Zavala county.

Bunches! I’ve seen 5 dead ones on the roads near me - kills me! Drove up on a family that had just hit one, it was barely alive and they were sitting on the road with it crying. I got out , asked them to leave so I could dispatch it- killed me again but that family was devastated .

travisd993 · 05-28-2022, 10:39 PM

Have seen two singles so far in Burleson county, including this little one. I’ve seen several more does that look like they are ready to pop.

60 Deluxe · 05-29-2022, 05:12 AM

I saw one about a week and a half ago that wasn't much bigger than a normal size housecat. Smallest fawn that I've ever seen. It was still wobbly. Momma had apparently laid down and had it in the tall grass next to our lane and the sound of the four-wheeler scared it.

Hogmauler · 05-29-2022, 05:58 AM

Saw one off of Kingsland drive in Katy two weeks ago.

dosrobles · 05-29-2022, 07:22 AM

Saw 2 in Lakeway yesterday

crowmagnum · 05-29-2022, 07:27 AM

Saw 1 last week and several mama’s about to pop w of Lake Brownwood.

Big pig · 05-29-2022, 08:12 AM

Haven’t seen one in our place, but my house does are ballooned up!
Found a big dead doe this week in the middle of my pasture . Buzzards had it to the point I could tell anything. Maybe a birth gone wrong?

Jon B · 05-29-2022, 08:59 AM

They started dropping 2-3 weeks ago in my neck of the woods. Been a bunch born in my yard this year.

EarleyBird · 05-29-2022, 09:04 AM

Haven't seen any fawns yet but most does look like they are about to explode. Very heavy and several starting to bag up.

K. Lane · 05-29-2022, 10:04 AM

Rancher sent me this one just the other day. I do know that a lot of the big ole fat pregnant doe have disappeared recently from getting their pics taken by the trail cam

CabezaBlanca · 05-29-2022, 10:08 AM

Saw a set of twins this morning.

eliteweldingco · 05-29-2022, 08:11 PM

We moved one to the outskirts of the field we were mowing, this afternoon here in Grayson. Took the kids to go see it 2 hours later and it was gone. I’ll hope for the best!

BRUTE 23 · 05-30-2022, 07:55 AM

We have a doe that has one under the barn every year.

Was out shredding some lanes today and saw one

mbcajun · 05-30-2022, 06:13 PM

A friend of mine was cutting hay in my pasture this morning, didn't see it and got it with his cutter.
Made me sick. Looked to be only a day or two old.

None in Star or Athens area. But last year at this time I ran over one in tall grass with 4 wheeler. It survived but I sure felt bad.

I was making single passes along the edges, I was done after I saw that fawn. Very hard to see in the grass.

He was upset, he didn't see it until he made his next round.

Leon County Slayer · 05-31-2022, 08:45 AM

Yes but I’m afraid she lost it. Mama has been back several times and no pics of the the fawn again since

lovemylegacy · 06-01-2022, 11:15 AM

Well, good info guys. Appreciate the cooperation.
Havent seen any in Newton cty yet. Historically, this time frame is when it happens.
Thanx for the pics.

jerp · 06-01-2022, 11:54 AM

Pulled out of my neighborhood in east Parker County this morning and there was a very young fawn standing by itself in the middle of the road. I stopped and watched it for a minute before mama came out of the bar ditch and ushered it away. Sadly with all the traffic many in our neighborhood herd don't survive till they're old enough to get car-wise.

lovemylegacy · 06-05-2022, 10:56 AM

Wife saw 2 fawns on Friday

FLASH_OUTDOORS · 06-05-2022, 11:08 AM

Saw a fawn 2 weeks ago here in Tomball, Harris co.

Saw one dead this morning as well just north of Granbury. A week ago, I saw one staggering across a county road. He was not good on his feet yet.

HoustonHunter94 · 06-08-2022, 03:15 PM

I saw 5 this morning on my walk. 2 sets of twins and a single. All of them probably just a day or so old.

220swift · 06-08-2022, 03:24 PM

Played golf this morning at Landa Park in New Braunfels. Saw a ton of fawns on the course.

fish4food · 06-08-2022, 08:40 PM

Saw this one today in Calhoun County.

Have started seeing them in the backyard, but this is the first I’ve been close enough to get a picture of.

Dang sideways pic.

Box-R · 06-08-2022, 09:08 PM

Saw a fawn along the side of the road in far north Georgetown. No momma in sight. Didn't see him on the way home, so he seems to have survived.

GIL HUNTS · 06-09-2022, 10:39 PM

Saw one today in Burleson county.
