Prego doe in September
« on: August 30, 2017, 06:05:10 PM »
Is it fairly common to have two fawns and be knocked up again in late August- early September?

Just bloated. Happens a lot with all the greenery
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Thought it may be something like that. I was unsure as none of the other deer in photos were fat like that.

Yeah it's surprising the first few times for sure.

I had a whitetail doe that looked as big as a barrel one day and the next was slender.

Very interesting about the bloatedness.

Here's a different answer, maybe right, maybe wrong:

- Those two fawns look more like yearlings to me - it's tough to tell though.  They're pretty big for four months old.
- Doe (s) that fail to get impregnated on the first few matings continue to cycle through estrous and be bred every 28 days or so until it is pregnant, or there are no more bucks with antlers/testosterone available to breed.

There are plenty of journal articles/studies which state that does may continue this estrous cycling well into March.  So just for fun, say this doe was one of those that didn't breed successfully until March.  That has her ready to drop fawns in late-August, and she looks just like the one in your photo.

Perhaps your cam will reveal the truth in upcoming photos.

I'd bet 10 to 1 it was bloated, dealt with that alot with dairy cows. A garden hose down their throat and a big squeeze on the gut sack/DONE.
Nice picture, thanks for sharing.
