Say BS to this all......

You want but in front of a neighbors house I in my lane and another guy in his had to stop for deer. Out pops a young doe who stood doing circles in the road when she saw us...then came twinkling fawns  in full bright wht.spots and dark red coats ...if they were over 4 weeks TOPS!. I'll eat dog crap. They were easy half the size of the fawns I posted in trail cam pics...talk about a late birth...they too wondered around in front of us a bit be for hitting the woods...Then another young doe came out and crossed...Talk about a late breeding!

I once saw a fawn in the ADK during rifle season with spots.  Talk about late breading!  Sometimes in these remote area's I think even the bucks have a hard time finding doe at the right time. 

I would think she was impregnated during the 4th cycle and that would be early February, makes sense that is about 7 months.

Shucks, some girls are just a little bit on the SHY side....

A few of the girls I went to school with never got pregnant until they were 15 or 16...

Do you think it was last years fawn that had the newborns?  Sounds good to me!

It happens.... Hopefully if the doe was just young and came in late, however if there was some genetic predisposition to late cycling..with any luck the fawns won't survive to pass those genes on.

Both doe looked to be pretty young...gosh when they first stepped out I couldn't believe it...Now we get late births and we get Sept. breedings as well...but these two tiny little things  looked so out of place in mid Aug.

That's very common now.  Somewhere I have a few snap shots of a fawn with two lines of spots down it's back during archery season........

Fawns with spots get shot all the time on LI during late gun season in January. Go figure…….

Ive seen a fawn that was no more then a few weeks old in October! I was shocked to say the least.

Lawd....I'm not talking of a fawn with just spots...That is common...especially faded one's along either side of back. I'm talking bright white all over body.on rich red fur...but also half the size of any fawn I've seen lately...tiny little things.

NOW when I told Mr B , he told me of a fawn he saw on the way to work that was huge and its 2 lines of spots were barely visible...biggest fawn he's ever seen this time of year...out in. Lima. Be. It weather or over population breeding patterns seem to have extended a bit.

Lima?  Things have always been a little off in Lima..............

Lol.... No comment.

Very late breeding, lack of bucks to service doe. Or too many doe. Even if it was fawn giving birth to fawn that's very late.

Doesn't surprise me. We have lat bloomers here also. The fresh rubs showing up in February tells it.

6 days ago in Tennessee I saw a fairly petite doe with a fawn in tow and it had very pronounced white spots, for what it's worth

[wfmiller]

Does will keep going into heat until they have been bred. Sometimes that will carry over to the spring. So it's not a big surprise to see fawns with spots well into hunting season.
