This is something I would keep tracking. However, judging the birth date of a small fawn can be very difficult. Throw in the fact that birth weights can vary substantially, and that exacerbates the problem.
Yes, that absolutely makes sense.
 
What you are reporting is very similar to what I have seen on our cameras as well. Last week was the last time we had any of our target bucks on any camera. They all turned into turkeys because we have had no shortage of them all of a sudden.
Same. I'm seeing more turkeys on my place than I have in many years.
