Coastie, here in NW FLORIDA, the rut doesn't come in till late January into early Febuary- so your theory on when fawns are born may be a little suspect for our region. I have seen plenty of mighty little fellas in late September while getting food plots prepared.......
Re-read my post, I said there are exceptions. Alabama and Arkansas also are noted for having late ruts, but in general, the rule holds.
deerhunter1224 is from Indiana, if they have a late or second rut it will likely occur in December which still allows the Does' body to allow the embryo to be implanted (depending on her physical condition) in the uterus in January which results in a birth in June.
