I swear I've seen a game cam pic of a little fawn with a 4pt or 6pt rack....
Anyone else seen this?
is it even biologically possible?

I would say it is highly possible.... They do have polished antler as a button buck.... I see no reason why in some cases that it couldn't grow beyond just the polished antler nubs.
I would agree that it is not possible to have a rack and still be a fawn . the only thing i can think of is can a deer keep its spots past being a fawn ?

Would they grow before or after birth?

I've heard that if pen raised fawns are fed the right nutrients it can happen. Again this is all hear say so I cannot say its true or not. Hard to believe I guess.
I have seen a fawn (in the fall) with about 3 inch spikes....but that doesn't compare to points...if a fawn can grow a rack in a few months, along with growing as far as body goes. That is a hell of a genetic gifted creature.

They lose their spots as theyshed their summer coats and their winter coat grows in.... So I would say it is not possible for a yearling to carry spots from the year before. Especially once you add in another year of shedding and regrowing coats as they turn 1.5.
Is it possible for a fawn to have a rack...
