Thought some might enjoy this, stumble upon while walking with some Foresters today. Got a closeup, but wondered if any one could tell what it is.

Fawn! We are starting to see some around here now too. Hope they stay out of the hay fields.

Me too, have hit several with the mower in the past.

Awwww, what a cutie! Around here the speed with which things are mowed, swathed, brush hogged, cut, etc is adjusted to take into account the fawns, pheasants, prairie chickens, and other wildlife that are habitating said areas with young so as not to harm them. Dad does regular reconnaisance (sp?) and knows what area's they tend to take up residency and schedules are adjusted accordingly. He has also been known to shut the swather (and other equipment) down to shoo a fawn or other creature out of the way. Call us wimpy, laugh or scoff if you want to, I think it's pretty darn cool! :D :D

I thought it might be Jimmy Hoffa until I saw the second picture. Very cute fawn.
 
Hate that thrump sound when I'm mowing hay. Try to watch for them even though they are hard on alfalfa stands.

Hubby ran over a new born calf a few years ago while shredding, now that will make a person sick. I've never seen a fawn that small that close in the wild. A guy had one he had found injured but it died in a couple days.

Sorry to say that I heard that thump sound this afternoon mowing a field.

I would never say wimpy, it's caring for the wildlife, thoughtful.
As that is how animals become extinct if everyone went around killing them instead of looking out for them. How long does it take if you know they are on your farm, to shoo them off before mowing. Keep up the good work msscamp, and maybe we will have fawns for future generations, if more people were like your Dad a good caring guy.
 
Thanks Chrisy! :) I heard Dad tell my nephew, right before he went out to swath hay last summer, to slow down and keep an eye out on the south side of the pivot because there was a mother pheasant with babies in the alfalfa. :D Mother and babies made it through the summer just fine! :D So did the mama deer and her twins, although she caused Dad a little aggravation when she moved her babies from where he was swathing deeper into the uncut hay! :lol: :lol: :lol:
