There’s a pack of them across the street from me along the riverbank, and they howl every evening and every morning. I chased one with the mini14 four days ago. Couldn’t get a bead on him at 100 yards with the peep sights in the fog, but he zigzagged a few times. I need to get the scope mounted and dialed in for the kill. Yes, I know, “mini14”....whatever. I have other choices, but this one is my favorite. I’ll post kill picks when I get him/them.

I'll forgive you if you call me Mr. Forest Defender ESQUIRE.

Enjoy, Forest Defender Esq.
Spring 2018. The fawn's mom was the only tame deer, would walk right up to you, and the little fawn was the same. The mom brought both fawns right up to me in the yard. Both fawns seemed great for a few weeks, the little one coming to see me like something from a cartoon. Then one day it was barely moving, not keeping up with mom and sibling, I saw its head was misshapen and dented, scabbed/bloody and missing hide. I thought she must have been hit by a car, but then I saw bitch deer go after her. Her wounds looked like they were healing, but she was never the same and about 10 days after the injuries, died in my yard. Neighbors had been gushing about the beautiful little fawns... I have never told them about this. I wasn't going to tell anyone, because it sucks and people I know don't need it.
The little fawn that died: https://pic8.co/sh/Yp1aE5.png You can see the wounds. Her sibling is still around, her mom was very old and I have not seen her since last spring.

You're a decent man. All the best.

Sorry, one last thing about that, which was kind of amazing. I've fed birds here for many years. The morning I found the dead fawn, I was led to it. By a hummingbird. I went outside and a hummer flew right within to about 3 feet of my face, hovered for few seconds and chittered a bunch, then noisily flew straight across the yard to the farthest corner from me, directly to above the fawns body and chirped and hovered around over it. This was unprecedented behavior, got my attention and I walked over and saw it.
