We have one fawn now and Rose thinks she may be having a second one now... Right under the birches out back, Rosie's been watching them and relaying the pertinent info to me.
Rosie doesn't think the doe is big ears. She says she's going to have her hands full the fawn is less than 2 hours old and is scooting around 20-30 feet from her, "look at me Mom", "look at me in my new shoes" then stumbles and runs back to mom...
It's rainy and wet, Mom just took the little guy off into the pines.
Pics to come later it's just to dark out there now... We don't want to scare 'em off either, give them their space they'll be back soon enough.

NH Free Fishing Day
NH Free Fishing Day
NH Free Fishing Day is the 1st Saturday in June the state of NH allows fishing (without a license) in any of it's rivers and lakes except for a couple Salmon broodstock rivers, the Merrimack and lower Pemigewasset rivers. We weren't headed there so no worries
Rose an I went a Yaad Sailin' in town for a couple hours, then got our coolers and fishing gear ready for the big fishing day.
Rosie, Crystal, Jarrod, the boys, and I went fishing most of the day into Saturday evening, picked a great day, little on the warm side, otherwise great, we all had a blast. Everyone caught fish, from Smallmouth Bass to Perch, to Sunfish, saw some huge old Bass that were to smart for us, was great to see them swim on by though..
We hit the Piscaquog above Glen Lake, Gorham Pond, then over to Daniels lake. All three produced loads of fun.
Rose and I hadn't had the time to get Licenses, with the gardens going in, new Chicks arriving, etc. This worked out great for us. Great Idea NH.

Deer, Turkeys and Chickens, oh boy!
DEER
The deer are out tonight, four does out in the cove. Rosie thinks at least one of the does is ready to drop a fawn, she's nervous, peeing a lot, and peeing for a long time, oh and her tail is staying up. She's noticed similar symptoms in past years a couple weeks before calving season.
TURKEYS
Our half dozen Turkeys arrived tonight, Broad-breasted Whites, we have them in the barn under heat lamps @ 90-100 degrees for the next seven weeks raising the temp 5 degrees a week. I dipped each chicks beak into water first, then into their feed to give them the idea. We'll check on them every couple hours tonight just to make sure they're OK. Power company is cutting power tomorrow (of course they are... timing is everything) at 10am so we'll need to cover them up well or bring them into the house so they don't cool off and die. The red heat lamp is supposed to keep the birds from pecking at each other, less pecking is good, I guess, we'll see.
CHICKENS
Our meat birds arrive tomorrow. Jumbo Cornish Cross, big heavy breed birds.
