In places where the weather is warm enough, does will keep coming in to estrous. When I lived in South Carolina and was scouting for turkeys (First week of march) I was already seeing newborn fawns (I got some pictures from about 10 feet away. They sure are cute little things, I wish quail held as well as newborn deer do. On the opposite end, when the deer season opened August 15th... I was seeing does just absolutely swollen all by themselves... as well as some fawns that couldn't be more than a few weeks old. I saw fawns with spots right on through Christmas. I've read that in places the buck to doe ratio in the areas I hunted down there was as high as 40:1. There is no restriction on bucks there. Two a day from Aug 15 to Jan 1. Does are on a quota system based on your amount of land. To put it in perspective, we had 1300 acres, six hunters and 90 doe tags.

Buck movement was almost non-existant. When the does are ready to be bred.. they will actually seek out the bucks. Its more like spring turkeys than the rutting/chasing behavior you see on TV all the time. For all the hunting I have done, thousands of hours in the woods, over 100 deer killed (mostly does too), I've only seen bucks running does three times in my entire life. Thats probably mind blowing to a lot of you mid-west guys.
