While bush hogging some pastures with blackberry bushes I almost bush hogged a new born calf that scared the shiza out of me I slowed down checked all of the big clumps I cut.

Cross fingers, I've never hit a fawn.. well.. that wasn't already dead... One year I hit one, stopped and looked at it, it was already dead.. make a few more passes through the 6' high field and find the momma eaten up by yotes and whatnot.. perhaps she had a twin that didn't come out or some problem like that?
This year again on my first pass around the field I found a dead fawn right by a fence, no bite marks or anything on it, no dead momma around this time though.. who knows what happened.
I have hit a lot of grouse chicks and meadowlarks though
