Guest PAWhitetailhunter19 Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Re: True but nasty!!! Containtail rabbits all eat their own pellets their entire life becuase the enzymes in their intestines are not quick enough to process the food, so alot of their nutrition is lost in their pellets. They would die without doin this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Re: True but nasty!!! Like cows often do,the doe will also eat the afterbirth, and clean the birthing area of any blood to eliminate the risk of any predatory animals having a chance to smell the fawns.

Squirrelhunter91 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Re: True but nasty!!! flatwoodhunter, Fawns are born in the spring. In the first post, QDMAworks4me stated that only for the first month of the fawns life does the doe do this. Most deer seasons don't start until October, some as early as September. So even in September, the fawn(s) will be 3-5 months old. Long past that process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Re: True but nasty!!! [ QUOTE ] so what happens if someone shoots the mother doe? what happens to the fawn? [/ QUOTE ] Keep in mind, by the time hunting season opens fawns are at least a few months old. Fawns drop in Mississippi from early to mid July and that is later than most other states because we have a late December rut on average here. States with November ruts are a month earlier than us. This issue relates to their 1st 6 weeks or so of life when they are still small spotted fawns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doughboy1956 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Re: True but nasty!!! Fawns orphaned at an age of four to five weeks have pratically no chance of survival. It is not likely a doe in the wild would nurse a fawn that is not hers. But like stated above, by the time of hunting seasons, fawns are much bigger.
