I was with my 14 year old son Monday Feb 24th looking at some deer. We saw about 100 head, some on private and some on public land. We were watching a 3 point chase around a doe like he wanted some action. Then another larger more mature 2x3 met up with the doe and bred her three times in a few minutes. My boy said it was gross. I'm glad he thought that way at 14. The buck to doe ratio is fairly good in the area. That fawn won't be born until Mid September. Has anyone else watched a doe being bred this late?
 
I would guess it's not actual breeding going on. Maybe just young bucks practicing. ha ha

I thought that about the 3 point. Also you watch cows mess around in the pasture sometimes. This was a doe in estrus, and a 24 inch 2x3 that bred the doe, three times. They give a hard thrust after they are done. After being bred, the doe jumped a fence away from the herd, the buck then followed her 500 yards to some trees after. Pretty crazy. That is why I said hard to believe.
 
That Fawn & others that'll be born that Late Ain't Nothin But Coyote Bait!

Years ago a wildlife researcher at Alburn State University told me their white tail herds in Alabama were so out of whack the does were fawning in all twelve months of the year. Even in the warm climate in Alabama, fawns born after the heavy protein went out of the forage died before they were a year old. According to him, the does milk has to have a very high protein count during the first two months after birth for a nursing fawn to put on enough body fat to survive even a very mild winter. Nature has adjusted deer birthing dates so they are born when the forge the mother is eating has the highest possible protein.

If I recall the researchers name was Dr. Keith Causey.

Maybe you should have offered $2k and then you would have gotten all the FACTS.

PS--how did that work out for ya after all?
 
I'd pay 3k right now for a pic of that in daylight.
Really though, is this another antic to try and convince us that we need to up the the buck/doe ratios in our area to LE status or the herd is doomed?
 
I am sure this happens on a regular basis. It is natur's way of evolving/adapting. If they survive, they pass on their genes if they dont then that paticular speciman (gene make up) dies and doesnt start the adaptation...
That is why the vast majority all breed within the same short time frame and it is different for the different regions that paticular species lives.

Well, that's crazy if it's breeding go on. Very late!

I was watching a group of bucks the first part of last February. Two of the bigger bucks ( one had already shed ) were chasing this doe all over the place. Never did see them mount up but they had the lip curl going on, they were bird dogging her like crazy and about ran the poor girl to death. Not very often you see a buck without antlers trying to get it on.
 
Seeing fawn with spots in September is common. seeing very small fawns killed by coyote in January is also very common---------------------------------------------------------------------------------support your local guzzlers. OHA life member,lapine oregon
 
This time of year breeding is like "When you go swimming in the ocean, it is very cold, and it makes my willy small"....LMAO

Sorry ZIGGER, just had to steal your line for this post.

Deer hunting one fall late Oct. Stepped over a log and there was a spotted fawn laying next to the log. Couldn't have been more then three days old.

Thanks for the input. It sounds like it is rare, but sometimes breeding occurs in Febuary. I agree, fawns born that late are Coyote,or lion food, or they will have a hard time surviving the winter.
 
I was out on the Strip for the 2013 November rifle hunt and saw a doe with a little spotted fawn not much bigger than a Jack Rabbit.
 
I have video footage from a couple years ago of a mature (190 class deer) buck breeding a doe in mid February. Only time I have ever seen something like that so late.
