i hunt a small piece of private bordering a huge public hiking trail. deer pass thru to hide out when the public park gets busy, and I’ve taken some nice deer from there.
Last year a giant nanny doe comes to my stand alone (or so I thought) and I shot her and watched her die in 10 yards … not 1 min later I notice a small fawn come behind in her tracks and is looking over her dead body. Needless to say I was sad, as I watched that fawn stick around for another 15 min before scaring it away while climbing down.
Now.. after the season was done I put up a cell cam.. and that fawn (now a yearling) has not left that spot where she died. I have pics of her Almost everyday since I put that camera out. I’ve even seen her when scouting.
Has anyone ever seen anything like this? A fawn who never leaves the spot her mama was killed? I figured by now she’d have joined another herd, as other deer come by that camera. But she is always alone.. always there..
