I think there was a late crop of fawns this year. Last week I had 2 fawns at the feeder still with spots on. So that's like a July birthday.

Not sure what your feeding them, but its best that the feed is scattered on the ground. Feeding deer in troughs can spread chronic wasting disease (CWD).
Interesting. Never heard that before but seems possible. Will scrap the trough as suggested. The 2 other spots are on the ground an seems there's more waste than consumed. Luckily CWD is not present in BC other than the far south east corner which had some confirmed cases last year.
Yeah it's something you don't want in the area, best to read up on it and help mitigate any risks.

Make that ‘1002’ reasons to get Top-n-Tilt.
I was able to tilt that pallet on down to slide him right on.
Many thanks to Brian at Fit-Rite

Not sure if a whitetail's neck could get any more swollen durning the rut than this guy! Yikes.

Not every successful opening weekend deer hunt ends with venison in the freezer IMHO.
A long time friend and one of his friends came up from MO to my property in central Wi to hunt and have a cold weather tent camping experience. We all saw deer and passed but still had a great time! We stayed in my 13 x 13 outfitters style tent with a small wood stove.
Here is one that we passed on. Not much bigger than my German Shepherd's I have had in the past.
