1.When do the fawns up North (Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, and PA) lose their spots?
They lose them the end of Aug through Sept. I have seen spotted fawns in Oct but they are usually late births.
2.When does the rut arrive in these areas (generally)?
Nov 15th is usually peak, plus or minus a few days.
3.What month do your deer sightings begin to taper off?
Our season ends the second week of Nov. Rarely have I been in the woods after that as there is no open season. The 3 days prior to Thanksgiving is our 3 day bear season, the deer sightings taper because of human intervention. The Monday after Thanksgiving is our slaughter season. Deer are scarce after that.
