Fetus size -vs- Breeding Date
Just wondering if anyone in here is educated on the size of a deer fetus in corresponding with it's age? A friend of mine harvested a doe on Sunday night December 19th and I was assisting with the field dressing. Inside, I found a "fetus" the size of my thumb (I guess about 2" or so). I was just wondering how long ago breeding took place?

RE: Fetus size -vs- Breeding Date
That's what is so hard about reading articles or asking advice on the rut for a specific area. Texas is considered the South and we are famous for our "South Texas Bucks", but Texas is a big state and we do not all hunt down south.
So, South Texas usually has their rut in December. In fact, a friend of mine said the rut at his place (South Texas) has just kicked in this week.
