late

Wonder if everybody could give your opinion on a situation. I have a doe that breed late. She will drop her fawns in the next week or so. So she was breed in March 2015. We do not have plans to bottle feed and will let them nurse on the momma.   We are not giving her high expectations on...

As I scan over the various emails and articles lately I just have to laugh. Has anyone ever heard of the phrase, "It is too late to close the barn door after the horse gets out." Anyone who thinks that CWD isn't now and hasn't been in your state for many years already is completely fooling...

I took some pictures of my bucks yesterday and then compared them to the same time period last year.  I found that my deer appear to be maybe 10 days to two weeks behind schedule from last year.  Has anyone else noticed this?  It was an extremely cold winter here in NW PA and I'm thinking that...

We had a mature doe fawn just 2 days ago....wow. September 24th. We took baby to bottle feed because of cold nights etc.... Do you think she would get bread again this November, or would it be better just to separate her and breed her in January/February. We had no idea she was even...

My breeder buck still has his antlers on. I know there is time left for him to drop, but I have had others hold on to theirs into May and I don't want that to happen. It seems to happen every year. I still have him in with the does because I don't want to disturb the other pens by taking him...

I work for the county and the budget won't allow for me to bottle feed all these late fawns on red cap milk. I need to know what formula through PBS Animal Health I can use with the least amount of problems. I have the Grade A Ultra here but my local wildlife rehaber said she thinks that gives...

I have a yearling doe I watched breed on 12/1/2012. There was no other activity with her and my buck after a couple days. Yesterday 2/16/2013 I watch my buck breed her again. Is it common for a doe to go 70+ days before breeding again? I was going to move my breeder buck out of the doe pin...

Last july we had a late unexpected set of twins pop out of a 3yr old doe. We only have the button buck left. My question is will this late fawn eventually catch up to where it should be or will it always be late in development due to its late birth. Along with his regular feed, We are still...

I had a doe have a single fawn on 9/12/10. She is currently nursing the fawn and will leave on her until December. We are going to AI on my farm around Nov 7. My question is am I wasting my time to put CIDR in this doe and sink up at this time also??? Anyone have any past experience? Thanks, Tony

I have a buck fawn that was born July 30 of last summer. His mother died in October, but fortunately he was weaned. For some reason this little guy is one of the tamest deer I ever had (besides my bottlefeds) he comes up and eats less than 2 feet from me. Anyway I was watching him today and I...

Surprised on Friday October 16 with a late fawn. I thought the doe didn't breed or miscarried and then surprised me with a single doe fawn. Of course we just weaned all the other bottle babies and now have to bottle this one till mid-January! She had to have been bred around April 20th, after...

I got a pleasent suprise When I walked in the pen Friday afternoon. I stepped into the pen and one of my does took off, I looked over where she was standing and there were two little newborns, finally.I knew she was getting close but it was seeming to take forver until she finally had them. Out...

My buck did not start growing horns until May. He shed his horns late April. Will he grow horns for a certain length of time or will he be cut short on growth? what controls horn growth?

Everyone knows that there is always one buck that holds off right to the end. When everybody else is getting to the end of their main growth there is always that one that comes from behind to surprise you. This one didn't catch me by complete surprise because he starting growing late as yearling...

Hello all , I have been reading about fawns being late, but ours were really late, the first doe fawn was born on the 4th of july the second one was born on the 15th of july and the last two (bucks)were born the following day, but we lost one of the twins as momma didn't have milk and I didn't...

Im sorry to report but I have yet to have a fawn. I have 3 adult does and one yearling (1-5yr, 2-2yrs) that were live covered. My question is how late have you ever had a fawn. What do you think caused this to happen. All three look like they should be pregnat and the little yearling looks to be...

Just wondering I have 3 adult does that should be bred. Not one has started to even bag yet. All were live bred. Just wondering if anyone around sw PA is seeing the same thing with live breedings. Last year I had one doe fawn and she had them june 14th but i bought here bred and she missed AI...

I am in central PA and I just wanted to see if others that live bred are running late this year. My does (6 of them) appear to be at least a couple weeks away from fawning. None of them have bagged up yet. They aren't as large(bellies) as other years, and two are skinny and are making me wonder...

I am wondering if there is a connection to late antler loss and late breeding. If loss of testosterone makes antler fall off? If the last doe is caught late, does he lose his antlers later because his hormones are still elevated? :confused:

Today, my white buck finally shed his antlers! does anyone else have bucks running around with their racks yet or does Whitey win the prize? Is this a normal thing for white deer? He even runs slow!!
