I think there's a heart-to-heart in order here.......

That third picture is a buck!

RE: Is she pregnant?
 

Highly agree!

I think its too fat to be just nursing, probably a late birth.

RE: Is she pregnant?
 

I don't think she's dropped her fawns yet. Her belly is too "full" looking -- after the fawn drop, they tend to go back to their former, more svelte look! ;) I was out running this morning and surprised a still pregnant doe that was feeding in a fenced pasture right next to 3 horses. I always see pregnant does in June -- it's quite common around here. Our out of whack buck/doe ratio has made this possible.

Thanks guys for the responses. I'm thinking late breeder as well. I didn't see many bucks until later in the year last year and the does seemed to disappear in December. I guess I'll know by how her belly looks when she shows up with her fawns. She travels with two yearling does usually, one of which looks like she's nursing right now and the other which might be a button buck. Can't get a close enough pic of that one to tell for certain.

They usually show up just before dusk or the middle of the night but the young guys like the one in the third pic will visit early morning and midday as well. I've crushed up a salt block and mineral block and scatter about two gallons of corn on the ground (once every week) and that seems to keep them posing for the pics. I'll stop doing the latter of course well before hunting season as baiting is illegal in MN.

Thx again for all the responses.

Actually I think she is very pregant. I think she did not concieve the first go around when she was in heat.She was probablybred a month later than most, so she will drop her fawn a month later than most. Thats why she's still got such a big belly after all the other does have had thier fawns. Thats why you hunt the 2nd rut.
