Are you seeing fawns in your area? Because peak rut dates vary from July to February in Florida, peak fawning actually started in early February in south Florida and runs through mid-September in northwest Florida and Zone B. Florida has the greatest range in fawning dates, partly due to our long growing season and mild winters.
Take this opportunity to remind your friends and family if they see a fawn, the best thing to do is leave it alone. Newborn fawns have no scent and during this time the female limits contact with the fawn so her scent won’t attract predators. Rest assured, the doe is not far away!
