That would equate to an October 18 - 20 breeding date.  Cool!

Yup. October 23rd would be 196 days back from today. Hope it’s a buck fawn. Great start if so.

Does 40 degree nights effect the fawns much? We have a couple in a row then it warms up! Weather is the biggest mortality rate for young ones. snow or rain with cold nights could be bad.

The 40 degrees will not be the killer. Like you said. Even behind fence the rain and damp with the 40 degrees is the killer. Up here it’s so early we don’t have any undergrowth or tall grass for them to bed in to get out of the wind.
