Since I'm working from home I can watch my property a little better. I just saw a small doe with two young fawns. At the age where the dots are fading away. On one fawn I just just see the dots. This is crazy. Must have been a September 1st hot doe. I didn't get a picture. I was outside fixing a cover to a water fountain that was coming off. All three looked healthy. If I see again soon I'll try to get a picture.

Interesting. What part of the state do you reside in?

Interesting. What part of the state do you reside in? I'm just outside of Dearborn in Ohio. Just a few miles. I eat in Greendale and Lawrenceburg all the time. All within 15 to 20 minutes. |

I've never seen fawns with spots @ this time of year.

Heck, I saw a buck that still had both antlers a couple days ago.

I have pictures of a buck with velvet knobs. This has been a strange weather year.

I agree. Crazy early. I'm keeping my eye out there. Hope to see the three again. I know the resident deer in my neighborhood and 1st time seeing them.

Some fawns hold onto their spots even until adulthood. Maybe these are last years fawns and still showing spots?

Most likely a September breeding. established fact that southern states have a breeding season from September thru January so why not here. I've seen really tiny spotted fawns, twins; in Tippicanoe county in January (2014 if my memory is correct)and their mother was a mature doe.
