Thread: Saw a fawn chasing a .....

FLATBED truck the other day right down the middle of a gravel road !
When we first saw it as it went by I thought it was crazy ole terrier looking farm dog !
Then my wife and buddy said holy heck its a fawn chasing a TRUCK !
Sure enough it was a pretty young fawn and it went by about the same speed as the truck about 30 yards behind it , ran a long ways until it was out of sight down the road ....
WHY you might ask , no clue here and to make it worse my wife wanted to go "rescue" it !
I told her this about that , if you never tried to ketch a fawn before , take it from me , they are for sure FASTER than a 2 legged person , this much is for sure ....
Saw its mom show up looking for it about 10 minutes later and hope for sure she found that little thing before dark . Made me kinda sad thinking it might have run to far for mom to find it , think it was one I saw near there about a week before , that one was acting all real crazy as well and ran about 150 yards when it saw me one way and then back about that far when I passed by it ....one thing for certain ,a crazy running every which way deer is likely not long lived in these parts .

yep , i bet harvest time on alfalfa can produce a few victims , seen that a few times , just yesterday we seen buzzards on "something" that the brush hog folks hit a day or so ago .
