They will get a few, for sure.
We have yotes and I am sure some of the local dogs get some of the fawns also.
Our recruitment rate is very high, however and our population is as high as it has ever been ....or so it seems.
For us, harvesting more does and exercising trigger control on the bucks is a much bigger concern than predators.
Best of luck.

I've been seeing a bunch on camera and while riding around.

I've seen quite a few more fawns this year, although I did find a dead fawn this weekend.

I agree. My backyard foodplot is my best gauge and have seen double the fawns there, as well as on the side of the road dead, than in previous years.
I'm in Walton County, so I guess results could vary depending on what part of the State you're in.

We have seen quite a few this year; however, we have also had a trapper come in for the last 2 years and he has done a great job getting rid of quite a few of the yotes in our area!!

Mama and her two fawns hammered our flower containers sometime during the night. The "Deer Off" got Diluted by the rain fall-so while reapplying-(after mowing the lawn-blowing the clippings, etc...) here they come looking for more ! She snorted a couple times and hauled butt looking for more opportunity!
We are also seeing lots of fawn tracks in the roads, trails, and weeded out food plots and no coyote tracks and no howls at night.

Forgot to mention this is the first year I have two separate set of twins on either side of the property on different cameras. Happy to see the fawn recruitment is higher after doing some predator control this past winter.

Haven't seen as many this year, but seen several does still carrying in the last week or so.
I'm seeing about the same number of fawns, 1 doe with twins, 1 with 1 and 1 still pregnant as of the 7-22-16. I have a neighbor who traps coyotes as needed, took 14 off 2 years ago, Great fawns last year and no signs of coyotes this year but I'm sure theres a few.
On my 38 ac, 7 different bucks, 3 for sure different does and numerous smaller fawns from last year. About 17 total different deer.

I've been trapping them on the farm I hunt the last 2 years. And this summer I've been seeing a lot of fawns.

Ive seen probably 2x the number of fawns than the past few years. Lots of twins this year.

Less doe days = more does = more fawns
