There is no doubt about respecting a whitetail deer, and I'm sure all the other species, extremely tough animals. That is a rather odd story. Anything that can run 100+ yards after taking a bullet in the heart, ought to be proof of their stamina, I've seen this at least 3 times in 25 years of hunting deer, all were carefully placed shots between 100-200 yards, .308, 150 grain hollow points with 40 something grains of IMR 3031, something like that as I remember, have not loaded any in awhile. I've seen them after being hit by cars with all 4 legs broken trying to get up and run with their legs flapping around, wishing I had a firearm or something to put em down, that is an awful sight anytime an animal suffers like that.
The story about the fawns, must have been older or old enough to gained enough strength etc., I've never seen them like that when new born.
I've caught several over the years, never sure how old, but not long, last one still had blue eyes. Around here, they prefer tall grasses, and for me it's very easy to spot and predict when one is going to have a fawn, you'll notice the doe hanging around a certain area, keep checking and you will find that fawn if you monitor the area long enough, from afar, you don't want to spook the doe. Every year at least one doe has a fawn at the back side of one of the old barns, where the cows were milked years ago, there is a remnant of the building, lot of tall grass, I can see from my kitchen window.
If you capture one, at least when still weak and newborn, it will probably be terrified of you, the last one I caught was so frightened, I did even chance holding it long enough to take a photo, mom came back but just observed, let the little one go, she raised that one and brought it up by the house often for the remainder of the summer. I've had the darned things come right up on the porch, and they are really funny when a group shows up, all lined up feeding off the corn I put out for them, they will show up at the same time everyday, a nice gesture for the locals here when the winter has lots of snow and is very cold. I stumbled upon one 26 years ago on a stone wall, it tried to run but could hardly walk, I grabbed it and put it back into it's hiding spot, mom came back and was not pleased, but it was my cue to leave em both alone and be on my way. Tempting as I know many people who have raised them, the guy I bought my tractor from a had several in his back yard pen, must have had a permit to raise and keep them.
Talk about something that you may not think is a tasmanian devil, catch a woodchuck by hand. I used to get between them and their holes by carefully stalking them, they will run the same path through high grass, will stop when in front of you, have to pounce on them quickly, with heavy gloves on, I wore 2 pairs, he'll clamp onto your hand, if not for the gloves, would be a nasty bite. Dogs are smart and usually kill them with no injury. I can remember catching the same one numerous times, he was not happy. I can remember riding the quad along side one runnning to the hole, growling in protest the entire way.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
