fly Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 I saw about a few does with a couple fawns each today. It looked like about 1/2 of the fawns had spots and 1/2 did not. What are you all seeing? I don't think I'd shoot a deer with spots so I'm hoping they all change soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybear Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Still spotty here but getting blotchy. Don't believe I've ever seen spots here come archery opener mid October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 (edited) I once saw a fawn with spots during deer season. Seeing a fawn with spots this late is not that uncommon. Our DEC did a study several years back on road kill does to see when how far along they were with their fawns. They were shocked to find that some does were inseminated as early as mid-September and as late as the second week of February.

Casey Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Some does might get bred late as well. I seen a doe with a small fawn in the November. We had five inches of snow that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrow32 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Saw a couple out back last night with spots. For the most part the ones I'm seeing have spots but some are starting to loose them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 most got spots in Ohio, dunno bout back home in Oklahoma but every fawn I have seen has spots. They will be losing them very soon as their winter coat comes in. I've seen about half and half lately. Saw what I thought was a fawn on the way to breakfast, but on the way back I could see that it was a doe. Looked like she probably got hit by a car but wasn't dead yet. She had half red, half brown fur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickel Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Last season i saw a fawn with about half its spots on october 23 i remember this because i keep a journal that i write in when i am out hunting. But right now most are still spotted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyman Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Saw 2 Friday that still had fading spots. As the others have mentioned, not unusual this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Last fawns I saw was 2 weeks ago, still solid spots but they should be faded by October round here. Never seen anything with spots while hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Still sporting spots here Frank, at least they were last week. Not at all unusual to see fawns still with spots into the archery season here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 It looked like about 1/2 of the fawns had spots and 1/2 did not. What are you all seeing? 'Bout the same thing here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2008 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 They were spotty back on the 26th of August, but I'm sure they are either splotchy or out of them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
