On the property I'm hunting I've been consistently seeing a small doe with 2 fawns. I was able to watch them for about an hour 2 weekends ago and she was still very protective of them. At one point the fawns were almost 100 yards apart and she would switch between them watching them like a hawk. This past weekend I saw one of the fawns walk down into a valley then the doe smelled me and blew. She purposely went towards the point of the ridge she was on and blew down into the valley before she took off. I thought does normally quit being so protective by now? Has anyone seen behavior like this before basically at the tail end of the first rut? I may be way off here but I'm wondering if she was born late or will go into estrous late?
