Fawns still nursing?

Would have thought the doe had her fawns weaned by now?

Late born maybe?  I see a note of spots yet.  The impressive part is that she's still got both twins.

Had to zoom & crop the photo, doe & fawns were ~25yds off center to the right.

Another deer ~15yds in the center of the photo was grazing & triggered the shot.

I think some fawns continue feeding from their mothers until well into the fall.  I have killed at least a couple of does that still had plenty of milk when I gutted them.  If they had weaned their young as early as August or September, they surely would have been dried up by late November and December when I shot them.  Same as human mothers.  If the baby does not feed for a few days they start to dry up pretty fast.
