deer lactation cycle
I am trying to find information on why we need to know if does are lactating or not and what these statistics mean...
My husband and I recently joined a hunting club in southern Alabama and are very confused about the whitetails who seem to go through rut from November to February, so the fawns vary in age and the does go into estrous when they please. One 65-lb doe, with a fawn and lactating...two weeks latter a 70-lb doe, no young, in estrous, not lactating. Any real input?
