[QUOTE="utvolsfan77, post: 5707189, member: 14847"] [USER=17]@BSK[/USER] Could all of these out-of-normal-range spotted fawns, regardless of the time of year born, be the result of doe fawns finally attaining enough body weight to trigger their hormones enough to begin their first estrous cycle and breed for the first time? If so, that would seem to indicate that reproduction depends more upon does, including doe fawns, attaining sufficient body weight than on a time frame on a calendar as we are used to traditionally. It could also help explain the fawns (outliers) born on the tails of that bell shaped curve. You mentioned seeing a buck chasing a doe at Easter. During the 2014 turkey season, I saw an 8-point buck, who had not shed its rack and still had hard antlers, chasing a couple of young does one morning in mid-April. [/QUOTE]
