I’m seeing reports on many different forums that fawns are being born. I always love this time of year, seeing the spotted, wobbly legged, newborns always brings a big smile to my face. The mortality rate on wild fawns varies by regency but some articles I read say as high as 30%. To help keep [...]
Just a quick little post for today. Yesterday, I took the evening off and went fishing with good friend Mike Tipple at a local reservoir.
