This is a spin off from the other thread. When you see a buck like this ya better stay on your side of the fence. The last two years he has acted like this from mid September to March when he sheds. These pics were taken December 4th.:eek::eek::eek: The buck in the background is bottle fed also...

I do not have the ability to bottle raise my fawns, but would like the doe fawns to be as tame as possible. What has been your experience with imprinting the fawns during their first 3 days by simply spending a quiet 20-30minutes with each one for those days. I read a article a cuple of years...

I have been talking with alot of folks about bottle feeding thier fawns this year. Was courious to see how many folks are doing it again this year and how many you were going to feed ?and what product you would be using for milk replacer? I have talked with some who are not going to feed this...

Does anyone have advise about bottle raising 2012 whitetail fawns with goat's milk? I am entertaining the idea, but not sure to go with milk replacers or goat's milk. Have experience bottle rearing hoofstock like reindeer calves, goat kids, nilgai, zebra foals, beef cattle, bison and others...

Anyone have any plans for bottle racks that take the graduated bottles that Whitetail sales and severances sells? Thanks, Russ

We have a doe fawn approx 8 weeks old. Up until two weeks ago she was super tame and came up to the bottle to feed. Now it is out of control. You have to chase her down which in turn works the hell outta her and the other bottle fed fawns (7 in all) and we just don't know what happened to her...

Question on bottle feeding fawns. Have talked to different farmers about what they feed, it varies from place to place. I would like to hear the opinions from everyone on the amount of milk you are feeding. How much do you increase , is it per day, etc? At what point do you stop, how many...

Have a fawn on the bottle that is loosing his hair. He is only 18 days old and I just noticed it a couple of days ago. Smallest of quads, he only weighed 2lbs. Also, he seems healthy as a horse.

I have a fawn that will not take a bottle. What is the best way to get a fawn to start to suck? I have had a few this year that are really stubborn and have been impossible to get started on the bottle! Frustrated!:mad:.

We have been raising deer for several years now, but this is the first time we are going to bottle feed fawns. So I have lots of questions. What kind of replacement milk do we use? What kind of bottle and nipple? How often do I feed? I am sure I missed some questions so if there is anything...

I have only been raising deer for about 2 years and this is the first year we will be bottle feeding and i was woundering on average how many gallons of goat milk will it take to feed a fawn Thanks Nick

I am new to the industry and wondering if anyone bottle feeds at night. I was thinking 5am 2pm 7pm 12pm my long stretch would be while I am at work instead of a night? I appreciate any ideas. Thanks, Jenni

Can you bottle feed fawns 2x's a day? Does anyone know of anyone that has done it and what their results were. Thanks, Big D

Found one of my bottle fawns with a broken back leg this morning. It is broke below the hock....no bone sticking out. Wondering what everyone thought I should do. Was thinking of wrapping with cotton and some vet wrap to stabilize and putting her in a smaller pen to let heal. Or should...

I am pretty new to the deer indurstry and what started for me as a hobby has grown into a passion. I find myself always constantly trying to think of ways to improve my operation (when I should be working). My latest consideration is whether to build a deer fawning facility or not. I've talked...
