They fawn the 1st week of June in Maine. A couple years ago I had a big doe run across the road out in front of me by about 50 feet. I stopped and was watching her because she just stood there in the ditch on the opposite side of the road which was odd. As I'm sitting there watching her a new born fawn walks out of the tall grass and stopped about 2 feet in front of my front tire and just stared at me for a minute. Momma deer was pissed, the hair on her neck was all bristled up. I also avoid riding at night but in this instance is was the middle of a sunny day. Ride safe
I usually try to leave deer along till september then all bets are off. Out comes the Bow till rifle season opens.

Tell Gumby that we do miss him. Get well and back on the road again. Glad that he made it through.

The tall feller says thanks for the get well wishes.
I stopped by there to donate some spare parts - Black Betty is up on the lift and with the broken stuff stripped off already. Some "wimenz" came by and took him out to help with the healing process.
He'll be back on the road in no time. Like he said, he was one lucky cowboy.
