After birth.

I'm in Richmond right now....and my subcontractor that has the high fence operation is in town, too. I'll ask him. tomorrow. He'll know, for sure.

The taxi i go to has a very small 8 pt rack and he said it came from a fawn.

Take it for what it is worth but I got this off the "Lucky Buck" web site.


Do the doe eat it too?
Answer:Yes and you want them too. They produce your bucks. We often have customers see what was their button bucks grow 4-6”spikes the first year. This is not just because the fawn ate the Lucky Buck, but because his mother did and likely bred on an earlier heat giving that fawn a tremendous advantage of being born 3 or 6 weeks earlier. Also the does will milk heavier giving an even greater advantage. These spike horn fawns will have a much larger base size and a huge advantage in the following years.

I mean ABSOLUTELY no disrespect to DC....but if we have people calling fawns "yearlings"......I think we need to come to a consensus on what the definition of a "fawn" is.

A "Fawn" (IMO) is a deer that was born "this year".

I could be all wrong.....but I just don't see a true fawn with a rack.

They claim that the Milo Hanson buck was 3.5 years old (possibly 4.5)... Wonder what he looked like as a "button"?

I assume he looked like a button.

Look at my thread about the yearling rack. The Hanson buck isn't so special when you learn the answer

is that really all they claim he was!
man could you imagine him at 5.5 or 6.5?

Iam not following what you are saying here... I read the thread and even contributed to it.... Nothing I read there so far would make me believe differently.

When you figure what a yearling buck CAN be.......

....the Hanson buck at 3.5 to 4.5 doesn't seem that big

That's all I was saying.
