RE: Lactating Doe
In the extreme south where he and I live it is common to see small spotted fawns at this time of year. I had a couple of them in my backyard two days ago. I have always heard that by the time a fawn loses its spots it can take care of itself, so the does fawns may or may not be of age to take care of themselves. With the high deer population in our areas you probably didn't hurt the population either way.
