Jeff & Rob,
I don't know this, it's more of a question. Do you think if the doe's fawn dies real early on or is still born, will she be done lactating by fall? I've killed only a couple "mature" does that had no milk, but I don't think they were so old as to be barren. Just another possiblity.

So if they have no milk in their sacs at 10/13.....they didn't drop a fawn?
Interesting. I didn't know that. Only one of mine had milk in her sac.....but that was over two weeks ago. So I can assume the other two didn't drop this year?
If so....I feel better, now. Last night I was in the same area I shot the doe saturday (the one that came in with two yearling does and two fawns). Last night the two fawns came by at 4:45 and sniffed all around where I recovered the doe (for 5-10 minutes). I just assumed they were hers.

OH and Matt filmed a doe that had a fawn with spots with her up at RJ's.
Yeah, Oct and spots. [8D]Anywho, nothing is ever set in stone with whitetails and nothing ceases to surprise me with them either anymore.
All I know was this nanny gave us an excited time and you know better than any how I get pumped and rattled when taking animals with my bow, even turkeys. I love it.

If that's the case, Rybo...I sure feel better about the doe I took, Saturday. I can't imagine why the fawns would have been over there sniffing if it weren't their mother.....but I guess anything is possible.
She was definitely a mature doe (if you saw the Doe no. 3 thread).

Well, after 16.5 hours on the road for a trip to my production shops, I am whooped. I had a smille on my face the whole way after last night's sit. What a hunt. Bears, bucks, and dead does, oh my.[8D] Rob made a textbook shot on a beautiful nanny. The 82nd and Easton combo just flat out tore through her. Glad I got to be a part of it. Thanks for the kind words fellas and thanks for another awesome night afield Rob.
