Could be just a fluke :dunno:

Breeding and the rut can be so strange sometimes.
Before moving out here, I hunted heavily in South Carolina. The weekend of November 4th was always the best weekend to be in the woods for full on rut activity, chasing, grunting, fighting, breeding, everything. It was magical.
We tried to kill does in October, and not November. I shot a doe on October 12th one year, gutted her and to my surprise found 2 developed fetus 1.5-2" long. That doe had to have been knocked up 40-50days prior. How that is possible I have no idea. Was an odd day in the woods.

Some really early most during the right cycle and some really late.

Post by: Southpole on February 16, 2023, 09:00:21 AM: Looks like a grown deer to me. It’s behind the other deer set back at an angle. Optical illusion of sorts.

Post by: turkeyfeather on February 16, 2023, 09:42:19 AM: So......I went and got the card so I could get a higher resolution image than what comes across from Spypoint. It is definitely an optical illusion when you see it in HD. Just 2 deer that happen to be sitting at the perfect distance and angle to make it look like a small fawn.
