Thread: Telling if a hind has a fawn.

I generally avoid hunting the December January period when the Fawns are very young and spend most of their time in hidden If I do hunt it tends to be spikers only. I'd like to know what peoples thoughts are on when a fawn can look after itself if the mother disappears, My thoughts are the fawn will survive from say the beginning of March on. They will still be suckling if they can but are also eating grass.
