question about does and fawns
Do you think an old mature doe will adopt fawns wha have lost their mothers. The reason I ask is we have a big doe that we have watched for 7 years now, shes easy to distinguish because of white stocking feet, butlast year she was alone all year in all of my game cam pics, and this year early in bow season, she was staying with another doe and two fawns. Weve taken a couple does off the farm this fall, and a coupe weeks ago I saw the white footed doe with two fawns. Did she take over raising them, are they just following her for company, or are they hers and we just never was them with her. Shes really old, the first time we saw her was in 97 and she had a single fawn with her then, so shes at least seven years old. Do you think shestoo old to breed and have fawns?
