Twins/Triplets
#6
I'm bored everyday. But the concept of a doe having twin fawns one year, then triplets the next has generated a glimmer of interest and enthusiasm in an otherwise mundane existence.

Where I am, I would say 80% of the does had triplets 3 years ago. Guess what? It was a killer winter. Nature has a way of maintaining the species and having a lot of fawns is is one of the ways. I have seen this a few times now.

I have seen this in the wild also, one of the largest does my dad ever shot weighed in at 160 pounds and she had three button buck fawns with her at the shot.
We also raised deer for a number of years and had triplets a few times, mostly from our older does (5-6 years old), though one doe birthed twins every year from 1 and a half through her death of 9 years old.
