Had the same thing happen to me last year. My best doe, whose mother is maternal sister to Geronibear's mother, had a large doe fawn by Pine Creek Blazer, on June 3, 2010. Because she just had it, and it was almost dark, I snapped a picture of it and was going to tag it the next day. It was my first fawn of the season and no others were born for five days. Never found a trace of this fawn again. We searched for days. My fences are really good, all gates are padlocked, and I'm double fenced around all of my breeding pens. DNA came back on the rest and she wasn't among them. All I have is the picture.

He has to eat he will come back for sure, he will fallow mama's grunts right up to the fence and she and him will pace to get back with each other, I have had it happen in the past, your only worry would be a predator coming into his bleats.

Jamie, welcome to the deer world. Just when you think you have everything covered they scare the crap out of you. This is the time of year I switch to full fawn protection combat mode. If it crawls outside of the pen it gets machine gunned. If it violates my airspace it gets the surface to air artillery. If I hear it tunneling underground with my stethoscope I break out the claymore's. If you see a small mushroom cloud in the Defiance Mo. area during fawning season it wasn't me I swear! My doctor tells me it will be OK but I'm not to sure.

Wow that is weird, I was about the fifth guy to write a response last night but instead of showing up on page 1 my response showed up really late, I never had a post get delayed like that before, anyways, Glad you found your fawn Jamie.
