Doe with spotted fawn on April 12 ?

Working on the barn today 4/12/24 and a doe with a large fawn that has almost lost its spots ran by. So if fawns usually loose their spots at about 4-5 months old, that makes the fawn born in December or January ??

Could be. Or it could have been a small doe with a fawn without many spots.

They are starting to drop fawns in area of SC. I saw lots of tiny deer tracks while hunting turkeys last week

They are shedding winter coats as well, a small one could look like spots

Sounds like a doe was bred around late September to early October.

I saw the exact same thing today. 2 fawns that weighed probably less than 30lbs. Neither had any spots but, looked like a fawn you'd see in August, just out of spots. I can't figure if they were real early or real late.

Newborn fawns have been observed every month of the year, so anything is possible.

Ive got a couple on the ground, some does ready to bust and some barely showing! We have does being bred from august to april
