Default RE: I'm a little lost on this one....

My sister works at the National Zoo here in Washington, DC. It's located right next to Rock Creek Park, which runs from suburban MD into DC. I see deer there every time i drive Rock Creek Parkway at night, including a fair number of bucks. She said that last week she saw a fawn bed downabout ten feet outside her office window in some branches that had been cut for grounds maintenance. A little while later, the mother came by, and the doe started to nurse. So, yes, some fawns still nurse. I think others are right, though, they're probably not dependent on it at this phase, unless they were dropped REALLY late!
