RE: A fawn with spots in november?
I do the majority of my deer hunting in Alabama andthe rut is just getting in full swing when the season closes the last day of January. The result, plenty of spotted fawns in October, some in November, and occasionly one in December.

If the bucks out number the does, than the breeding period should be short, not extended. When there are way too many does and few bucks, is when the later breeding would take place.

I know I'll probably get some crap for bringing this up now. But I hunt in North Central Texas and last deer season, about mid november, I saw a fawn with a doe and the fawn looked only about 3-4 weeks old and still had spots. Have ya'll heard about or seen a fawn this young in november? If ya'll think I'm full of it i'll scan the pics of it from my Stealth Cam and post it. What do ya'll think?

We actually had a doe that gave birth in October this past year. We actually thought the doe was sick and had talked about putting her down in September, then out came the fawn. Both survived the winter. A biologist friend of mine called it a fluke.
