fawn birth
 

I have a customer of mine that said she was watching a fawn being born
in her back yardSaturday after noon and that she watched it for long time.I have never heard of such a late birth is it possible?I looked at the spot where she saw it give birth but it had snowed Sunday so i couldn't find any blood or placenta only deer tracks in the snow.I doubted her but she swears she saw it.What do you think is it possible

RE: fawn birth
 

nope. i think its impossible. the doe would have had to been bred almost in the middle of the summer, which doesnt happen. but im not a biologist either, so dont take my word for it

Like anything nature isn't perfect. I'm am sure there are does that could come into cycle at odd times. And if she starts backing that thing up aganist a buck he might just throw down on it.

RE: fawn birth
 

Not likely but possible. Several factors could cause that and if a doe were to come in heat at any time a buck would breed her.

:D:DLOL. He just might!!

RE: fawn birth
 

I don't believe a buck has enough testosterone being secreted in the summer for him to be able to breed.

RE: fawn birth
 

I certainly have my doubt's about this one .

Anything is possible!!!!!!! I've read that a buck can breed anytime!

I think it was Arthur P that had something in his signature about, " Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried to slam a revolving door."

RE: fawn birth
 

I seriously doubted her but she said saw legs coming out and having a tough time.If its not a fawn birth than what did she see

RE: fawn birth
 

Let's hope it wasbirth and not a gut shot doe, dying in her back yard, only to move into the wood line to it's final resting place.

I think shadowace is right. I have read that a buck can not breed a doe if he has lost his antlers.

I almost wet myself when I read that!:D

RE: fawn birth
 

I believe its very unusual, but Ive heard of two other cases of November and December fawn births. By the way, bucks CAN still fertilize a doe after the antlers are shed. Usually the testosterone levels are low, and the scrotum is no longer dropped enough to cool the sperm, but it can happen. It was most likely a late dropped fawn herself, and she cycled through the late spring, in this case April, then add approx. 200 plus days for gestation.

RE: fawn birth
 

I'm pretty sure the buck would be ready. If you could only get it in November, and out of the blue some chick offered you a piece in April you'd take her up on it wouldn't you? :)
