By now, fawns should be weaned, so I wouldn't worry to much about it. A number of years back, I shot a doe in mid-November that was still lactating, well past when she should be. Your husband's doe system is still probably producing milk, but if she had fawns still dependent on her this late in the game, chances are they'd have a tough time making it anyway.

Not the case in PA. I've had doe under my stand in early Oct still nursing fawns with spots. That's one of the problems with our unbalanced herd. Late ruts, late births etc....Too many does, not enough bucks but hopefully that's changing...


Lady Arwen, congrat's on your husbands doe, yours will come soon enough.
