i have a deer /fawn running around in the woods i hunt and i have never saw one this small ,this late in the year.it dont have spots but my lab weighs 80 lbs.and would make 2 of this deer. its not afraid of anything ,saw it last eve.and blew the grunt tube when it was right beside me,didnt scare it at all.it has a normal size deer that looks to be its sibling running with it and i have seen the mother with them before the rut came in.i let off a buck bomb out in front of my stand and when this little one came in it wallowed in the weeds where i let it off at like a dog would do.craziest thing i ever saw.you think one this small will have a chance of making it through the winter?i had the normal size one 15 yards broadside the other eve. with no clue i was around and i let it walk so it can take care of the little one,lord,im getting soft in my older age.

I killed one last year that field dressed 30 lbs at Potato Creek State Park. She still had a row of spots down the top of her back.

I've seen some very small young of the year. I also was watching one of the deer hunting shows on TV some months ago (can't remember which one) where they filmed what they claimed was a dwarf deer. They said it had been sighted on several occasions and was perfectly proportioned in miniature. First time I'd heard of that.

I saw that,maybe same show, filmed in South Texas,was a full grown Buck with nice rack. But in minature. |

Sounds like the same one I saw. Pretty bizarre.

I saw some fawn tracks last week that were barely bigger around than a quarter.

I won't swear that they weren't but there aren't any hog farms within several miles and I have yet to see or hear of any wild hogs this far from the river yet. |

Hog tracks are more rounded in the front where deer tracks are more pointed and they do look a lot a like especially if you are not use to seeing them. h.h.
