Last Friday evening, I had a small doe and two small fawns get within 20 yards of my stand.

As I watched, low and behold, the two fawns began to nurse.

This is the first time I have seen this first hand.

I understand that fawns can be born late due to the second rut, however...

1. How much longer will these late twins still nurse?
2. If I would have taken the Mother, would the two fawns have survived?
