I had a doe with 2 fawns hanging around the house. Three weeks ago I got 1 picture of a coyote and the deer disappeared for 2 weeks. They showed back up a week ago minus 1 fawn and the other one has scars over it's face and neck. I believe the coyote got after them and ran them into a fence, caught one and the other got away with scars. There are too many coyotes everywhere. They must breed twice a year. A whole bunch of them hanging around the stadium

The Does where I live will all bunch up around the several houses here in the 100 acre Hammock and drop their fawns. Too many Cayotes running the pines all around us. Here the Cayotes won't come because of the dogs and folks that shoot on sight.

TRT, They do that at my place in High Springs as well. I can be in the front yard having a cold one and they will walk right through and out my front gate. I actually got a trail came pic of a small fawn with mom at one of my feeders yesterday. I already knew we had 4 fawn crops this year. If it is 200 days from gestation, that doe was bred in February. I have never seen 5 fawn crops up there before, but I have only been running cell cameras for 3 years.

I only had one fawn show up this year. And it was the other day. It wasn’t a youngin. It had a bit of size Had 5 regular fat doe show up for a while. They all left about 4/5 weeks ago. Maybe they dropped then. Who knows.

So had another on camera yesterday. A bit smaller than the last.
I noticed a month ago all the nice bucks just disappeared. Only bucks showing up on the camera are the two yearlings that bed on the place.
Well coincidentally, the same time the fawns started showing up on camera the big bucks have started showing up again. Not a lot and at night but they are showing up. Then yesterday one in daylight
I wonder, do you think they(the older bucks) have been staying away because a doe left her fawn nearby for that first month?? Just seems to coincidental

Anecdotally, I've had almost the same exact experience at my place in Dixie. I had a group of 5 bachelors, all 8pt or better, hanging around for 2 solid months. Then once the fawns dropped, I haven't seen any of the 5 since 7/17. In the last week, 2 of the smaller 8s showed up on a feeder cam at night and had another yearling show up in daylight as well poking around. Partly my feeders were gummed up but after fixing the feeders, I'm still only getting a few sightings here and there.
