I pull the camera cards every weekend on my new acreage.
This doe and little fawn showed up. Pics were from Monday October 13th. I was surprised to see this little guy.
Heck mom already changed out of her red summer coat.

Got a few around here that look to be the same age or near to it. They will have a rough time of it nursing thru these next few months with not much body fat or their winter hair coat. Some will not make it.

Years ago, in Late Nov I shot a doe that was still nursing. We shot the fawn knowing it wasn't going to make it.

We take some old mature doe in December that have been bred, but are still making milk.

The future don't look to promising for that little one. Many years ago got pictures of a doe and two small spotted fawns the middle of November, I am pretty sure they didn't fair well in the winter.

… I agree … late for a spotted fawn

Saw some that size last week . Three for one tag on that size

real tender I bet
