This past Friday i was fixing on shooting a big doe when her little one took a long drink. The little one had no spots but nursed for about 2min. I them pass.
Sounds strange to me too.

when they start to come into heat they will run the fawns off & no more free lunch,killed a doe yesterday morning that had 2 big yearlings with it,nipples were dry but still had a small amount of milk in her sack.a lot depends on how late they were droped more than likely
