Default doe with fawns

I have been seeing 5 big doe's they all have one fawn with them. don't deer have 2 or 3 fawns each year. Could this mean an unhealthy deer herd. It is all mountians around here could netrition be a factor? I have hunted other areas around here and most of the deer would have 2 little ones.

Sounds like it could be an over population problem. Start shooting some of those does.

Yeah Bill, most does have twins ,I don't think you have an unhealthy deer herd though, I would say that it is just a coincidence. If you had a problem with the health in the herd they probably would not have any fawns. What kind of condition was these does in?

Alot of fawns don't make it to their 1st winter-predation,auto accidents,etc.I've seen quite a few road-kills in my area lately-mostly fawns.

bill another reason the doe may only have one fawn could be due to the drought, I am not sure how bad it is down your way, but here in Va. it has been real bad. Shoot the big does and enjoy some fine eating.
