Early born fawns will come into heat in Nov,Dec,Jan. Later born will come into heat Feb & March. Up north we do not want late fawns born after August. They would not have a winter coat on by Nov and freeze to death.On the first of Nov,Dec, & Jan we give them 1/2 cc of Eustrumate so we don't have a late single fawn. By waiting until they are a year and a half we usually have twins and the mom is at least two.

Five days after the first full moon in November then every 21 days after for 3 cycles.

Lutalyse would also work, I imagine.
Autumn-A,
Rule of thumb: doe fawns 6 months of age, 60 pounds will come into estrus and run the same estrus cycles as any other doe. So the healthier the doe fawns, the more chance they will breed their first year. We normally, at Goodman's Whitetail Haven, pull all of our doe fawns out of our breeding pens due to the fact that we do not want our doe fawns breeding as fawns.
