I wonder why! Very hard push to shot does and a large increase of predator's since 2000. Elk, Bobcat, Bear, wild bore, and large snakes in the south to mention a few. Taking the older does is another one out of the picture is big.

Interesting article for sure.
Between neonicotinoids being used to kill insects (including honeybees) and round up being used to kill weeds, one has to wonder if the use of both are having detrimental effects on livestock, deer and humans.

Not a problem locally. It seems like every doe in the valley decided to drop fawns on the farm this year. We also have our first confirmed poults. It's a bit dangerous to ride the quad through the woods. Bot for us, but for the baby critters. I ran over a baby turkey and just missed a fawn Memorial Day weekend.

My wife and I usually have three to five does in the field out front with fawns, they like the tall grass to hide them in, usually with twins and quite often with triplets.It’s kinda weird that this is a thing because this is the first year in 24 years that we see the does by the apple trees but no fawns, no sightings whatsoever. A friend of mine has experienced the same thing at his place so I will forward the article to him.

I know this is just anecdotal, but in NW indiana where I live, I have seen more fawns this year than I have ever before. Strangely enough, a lot of them have not had does with them.
