RE: unusual sightings
It's not unusual for doe mothers to have milk in October. They still let their fawns nurse about once a day up until November even. Not all mothers do this though but some so. I've seen deer that look almost as big as their mothers nursing. They about knock their mothers down bumping the bag nursing. Does get tired of this punishment evidentually and wing off the troublesome fawns to feed on their own on regular deer food like everyone else. It's the same everywhere, just as soon as we guys find a good tit, it dries up, falls down, or she runs us off. It's a stinking shame I tell ya. LOL
