Is she pregnant?
 

I keep getting some pics of a doe I think is very pregnant on my trail cam. My co-worker thinks she must have dropped her fawns by now, though, and thinks she is just a nice fat doe with a full milk sack. I guess I will know within a month or so because if she is pregnant it can't be much longer. What do you think. Sorry if the pics are grainy. Most others I have have turned out really nice, like this young guy in the third pic.

I doubt she still is carrying. Field dressed a deer about a month ago that had an almost ready buck in it. Little guy only needed a few more weeks and that was an Ohio deer. You guys up their should be a little earlier. I think their milk comes in after they give birth.

LOL, I looked at the pictures before I read all of what you said. I was thinkin.."Uhhhh...Thats a buck." [&:][:o]

RE: Is she pregnant?
 

i saw one the other night that looked like that. my guess is that she is still feeding her fawn. and im pretty sure im right.

RE: Is she pregnant?
 

my guess is she is still nursing ,nice healthy doe

RE: Is she pregnant?
 

I say nursing as well.

If MN is anything like PA, yes she could be, late breeds, Dec and Jan means late births...I firmly believe there are doe in PA that haven't dropped thier fawns.

I'm not a wildlife boilogist, but I am voting for pregnant.

I didn't do it! It's not mine! I didn't even know her!

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

That third picture is a buck!

RE: Is she pregnant?
 

Highly agree!

RE: Is she pregnant?
 

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.
