Here is the neighborhood Doe and her young Fawn. It couldn't be but a couple of days old.

Really nice.

She had her eye on you the whole time. Proving no matter what the species, you don't mess with the mommy.

That is a late baby. Usually breed Oct through Jan with fawns dropping generally Feb through May. I wonder if mom aborted one, and was rebred? Good pictures. The doe looks scruffy-due to a large load of parasites maybe? Keep an eye on her, and let us know how she is doing. More pics too!

I was wondering about that too gramps. Are those ticks all over her?

 

[gramps]

Ticks or flies, I can't tell. She also appears to have not shed off all of her winter coat yet. Which is usually indicative of worms. She is a good momma.

Yup, was gonna say she conceived Dec or even Jan.. Here the rut peaks near the end of the first week of Nov., with roughly one month apart secondary possibles. I've seen does spotting the snow in ealry Jan., when muzzload hunting, when our season was then. Now its the last week in Dec. instead. Hop that fawn grows fast and the coming winter not too harsh. Survival rates for these later bred/dropped fawns lower.

Up here this is prime time for fawns they do not start breeding till mid November.
Still cold here in early spring for the babies. Funny how adaptable they are.

Great Pics. ps

Oooooh! Soooo cute!

 

[nekvermont]

The fawns here are usually dropped at about the same time the first hay cutting happens. Unfortunately there are an unbelievable amount of fawns killed by haying equipment. I have personally known farmers who have killed 5 or 6 fawns in one spring and most of them are hunters that are trying very hard to avoid them. The fawn mortality rate around here has to be very high, we seldom see fawns.
