Been seeing some sick deer

clockum are you saying that the fawn is actually from not this past rut but from the previous rut? not quite understanding that part of the post. If so can u explain in more detail I find that hard to believe.

Its very RARE, but does happen I have heard and read.  A doe can go into es-tress at any time of the year, and a buck will take advantage.

Is this what you've been seeing Naches?  I have been seeing a lot the past few weeks too...is this the lice or shedding the winter coat?  Only the yearlings seem to have it going on...

I agree with buckfvr.  That is not a doe bred after missing cycles because of to few bucks.  That would have been approx. 7- 8 months  of missed heat cycles.  What makes more sense is she was came into heat early for some odd reason.  We bought a young doe goat from a friend because we wanted to start out with an open doe for my young daughter.  Well   come Nov. she is getting an udder.  After talking to the previous owner she said it wasnt possible she was never with a buck.  She had a kid a few days later, she was only 8 months old.  Come to find out she was with a young buck kid and three things happened.  The young doe came inheat, it was not their rut time, and the young buck was able to breed her.  That would mean she was bred at 3 months old.  Unusual to say the least but it happened.  That would have been a June cover, not the usual time for a goats breeding season which is similar to the deer.  We ended up with a free doe and a fun time for my daughter with these goats.

Limited draw in 340 and 342 and put up gates from NOV to May. No motorized vehicles.  If tribal wants to hunt can walk or ride horses into hunting areas.

I just jumped on here real quick because I was going to post about this subject.  We have a fawn in the back yard that has absolutely no hair on its sides, and has very little along the spine or neck.  It looks like this picture only much worse.  The hair it has is very pale, almost blond.  How sick is this thing.  None of the other 12-15 deer we have around the house, bucks included, have anything resembling this.  Why would one fawn have it, but not the other from the same doe, and why wouldn't the other fawn twins have it?
