I encountered 2 fawns "stashed" over the weekend. I normally walk through the area if I'm mowing this time of year but I was mowing such tiny clover plot and it wasn't tall so I just started mowing. I heard a mahhh sound and my heart sank as I thought for sure I hit it. It was laying literally just left of my wheeler tires in the tall grass off the plot. Fortunately #2 wasn't dramatic! My brother and I were checking a food plot and came upon this fawn stashed in our rye. Very cool to see.  |

I talked to a neighbor farmer a couple weeks ago. He said he will be taking first cut of alfalfa a couple weeks early this year..... Not good....

One neighbor cut hay and got two out of a set of triplets. One fawn was right near his buildings and the dogs had never found it, until he hit it.

I wait a extra 2-3 weeks to cut hay. Need to give them a chance to get up and run.

First crop was always an ugly one on the farm. We never mowed up fawns, because there weren't any deer in McLeod County. What we did get was a good number of pheasant and duck nests. Lots of that got remedied when the small dairies went away and with it the alfalfa went away.
