I got pix of a fawn that looks very, very young on September 23ed. looks half or 1/3 the size of other fawns that have all lost their spots by now. anyone care to guess how old this little guy could be? I have never seen one so small this late in the year before. it did not show up on cam then next time I checked.

2nd pic

Born in august, Momma was probably a fawn last year and came into heat for the "second rut", and was bred in February.

6 to 8 weeks. maybe 10.

Yep, young momma doe, late breeding... Notice not a twin pictured, another indication of first time mother...

Date:28-Sep-15

Will be lucky to make it this year, awfully late going into October.

Date:28-Sep-15

we see them like that this time of the year all the time in TN, especially in areas with high doe populations. I saw one Saturday morning, momma was already in her grey winter coat and the fawn still had it's summer red on.

Date:28-Sep-15

Agreed, mom was probably breed late january or early feb. It wont have a problem making the winter as long as the snows don't come too early. What may be its down fall is coyotes. Shawn

Saw one like that in November last year here in PA, bright white spots all over. Was not a young doe, but a giant old doe. I wanted to shoot the doe so bad, but it was a death sentence for the fawn, and I was not going to shoot the fawn, so I let them walk.

here is the size of all the normal fawns. will have to see if the little thing shows up on cam again.

Date:28-Sep-15

114 days

Date:29-Sep-15

I read somewhere, maybe it was here, that a doe can give birth any time of the year, it's just not common. I didn't think it was possible for a buck to breed a doe unless his testosterone level was high, but I guess a hot doe changes that.

By: Salagi
Date:29-Sep-15

I posted pictures on here last spring of a fawn that still had spots in March or April. Although it was pretty close to the size of the others. We decided it was a "late hatch" also.

Date:03-Oct-15

I will age it....for about 5 days at 35 degrees. delicious!!

Date:04-Oct-15

1-2 months would be my guess. A doe willgive birth approx. 7-months after conception. However, in southern climes where there is moderate weather and plenty of food, a doe may get bred as late as March or even April.

As long as the bucks still have antlers and there are unbred does who cycle, they can get bred.

bowriter - "in southern climes where there is moderate weather and plenty of food, a doe may get bred as late as March or even April"

Although uncommon, it does sometimes happen in the northern states too, as cuda383 photo confirms (assuming that is in NY)... Whether the fawns survive the winter to break the cycle is another can of worms likely depending on the severity of the weather, but I saved a few pictures of spotted northern whitetail fawns in snow during late winter... One, if I remember correctly came from as far north as Minnesota... I think Bear posted it a few years ago...

yes this was taken in NY. finally got another pic of the fawn today. looks like its a little buck.

Date:20-Oct-15

Can you say veal?? It is gonna have a tough time making it through the winter I think. I thought it would be bigger by now. Shawn

cuda383 - Cool, thanks for sharing...

The fawn looks to be doing pretty good, and growing... Be nice to see if you can get more pix later when the snow flies...

Warmer winter expected so she might make it if the yotes don't get to it.

Date:08-Nov-15

"Kelly that is Hilarious!!!!"

yeah, she's a funny one.

Date:09-Nov-15

132" oops, sorry wrong thread.

Date:09-Nov-15

Likely will be among the first to perish if its another bad NYS winter. Depends on what part of NYS I guess....

I'd like to whack him about now, he'd make a heck of a back quiver...8^)

cuda383 - Your fawn still alive?

Date:07-Dec-15

about 2 weeks ago we see it on a trail cam. spots almost gone but its still very small. I have seen a very small fawn with a doe when hunting this week but not sure if its that fawn or not.

Bringing to the top for cross reference to the "When Doe Fawns Breed, It's a good sign!" thread...

Date:16-Dec-15

So if it is a buck we will have to give the 2.25, 3.25, 4.25, etc. y/o qualifying statement down the road? This is really getting hard! :D

Good pics.

Bringing to the top for 12yards for cross reference, "Spotted fawn in April"...

Date:13-Apr-16

Amazes me how some animals survive. Gotta give them credit. They're tougher than we think.

I'd say the fawn in the above pic was about 1 month old at the time the first pics were taken.

Date:13-Apr-16

Cuda, still around? Did he make the winter?

Date:20-Jul-16

I think this is the same fawn on Feb 17th. much smaller then any of the other young deer that I was seeing.

Date:20-Jul-16

cuda383's MOBILE embedded Photo

got this set of pics today. I would guess its the little fawn. still very small. maybe is will show in the day time and we get a better look. 7/18/16 or is it just a big this years fawn? some times I think I see spots on it.
