Is it possible for a fawn to have a rack...
 

I swear I've seen a game cam pic of a little fawn with a 4pt or 6pt rack....

Anyone else seen this?

is it even biologically possible?

Opinion only.......

NO.

I would say it is highly possible.... They do have polished antler as a button buck.... I see no reason why in some cases that it couldn't grow beyond just the polished antler nubs.

I would agree that it is not possible to have a rack and still be a fawn . the only thing i can think of is can a deer keep its spots past being a fawn ?

Would they grow before or after birth?

IF it is possible it would be some sort of freak of nature.

I've heard that if pen raised fawns are fed the right nutrients it can happen. Again this is all hear say so I cannot say its true or not. Hard to believe I guess.

x2, but contact a biologist, hes sure to know

I have seen a fawn (in the fall) with about 3 inch spikes....but that doesn't compare to points...if a fawn can grow a rack in a few months, along with growing as far as body goes. That is a hell of a genetic gifted creature.

They lose their spots as theyshed their summer coats and their winter coat grows in.... So I would say it is not possible for a yearling to carry spots from the year before. Especially once you add in another year of shedding and regrowing coats as they turn 1.5.
