Still killing pregnant does.

[DTala]

some fawns keep spots much longer than others of the same age. I have two on my place that you can easily see spots all over them, but they are five months old, born in July. I've seen spots on year old deer, and spots down the spine on two year olds.

I'm curious how you come up with they were bred in June? Or did you mean they were born in June? There's nothing unusual about a yearling doe coming in to heat later than the rest of the does. This could be the reason you are seeing some fawns with spots.

Fawns taste better.

Not uncommon in S.Tx for late drops.... seen them still rutting in march/april.. with fawns into December..

All of our cattle cycles are off also. We think its due to the stress of the drought.

Sex ratio is the most likely culprit.

Bucks have to be hard antlered in order to breed a doe. Don't know if there are any hard antlered deer in Texas in June

[Bowtech Lefty]

Maybe it was bred by an axis buck during the summer?

I was thinking the same thing.

We have killed prego does in jan. In the hill country.
Bred early October.
I think it is all about old does bred early , first year does bred late and drought influence

Genetically speaking, I don't think that an Axis can breed a WT and have it take.

I'm not trying to argue with you, but I do have to ask, upon what credentials, do you make this claim? My un(biologically)educated gut feeling tells me that it's possible, if they got together and successfully did the deed. Mule deer and WT can, and have, crossbred successfully.
