[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5796711, member: 17"] Hard to say at this point, other than "born late." And up and down the KY Lake drainage - the areas hit hardest by the 2022 drought - I'm seeing a lot of late-born fawns this year. I suspect the drought is the culprit. I ran a photo census in that region this year where almost no fawns were showing up on camera in early August. However, some did show up in September and they were the size of house cats. I would say 85% of fawns on that property were like this. Herd dynamics on the property are excellent, so the late breeding was not due to poor dynamics. I can only assume poor animal health from the drought prevent conceptions during the "normal" rut, which in itself was delayed due to poor health. I would guess many of these fawns were conceived in early January for an area with a normal peak of breeding around Thanksgiving. [/QUOTE]
