I am hardly seeing any fawns on camera. I had a doe this week that still looked pregnant, anyone else seeing this?

I have seen a few fawns around but just not on camera. I am just a bit surprised as normally I have several a year. I think I had a couple last camera check but none this time. I have lots of deer on camera, just not the fawns I was hoping for, habitat/food is prime around here so I know they gotta be around......

Still about 90% sure the one doe was pregnant.

Haven't pulled my camera chips yet. Seen 3 smooth head deer in the yard today and no fawns. Seen 2 smooth head on Monday and no fawns.

I have seen 7 fawns so far in a 5 mile radius from where I hunt at my house, 3 were with a momma doe in the creek drinking on Wednesday and 4 were with 2 does in a bean field a couple miles from my house. Good so far but none on cam. They are out there.

I drove from my house (SW Ohio, Leesburg) to Indy and back this morning. Plenty of fawns to be seen through the entire drive in the morning. Mid day the fields were holding bachelor groups. I've also had some fawns in my yard in the mornings. Don't think that because they aren't stepping in from of your camera, they aren't around. They are getting more active also here in my area.

Last week, 2 out of the three is all I could get in one pic. Kinda crappy through the screen, but you get the idea.

What route did you take?
