Saw this on another site and found it very interesting. It stated that this doe was killed yesterday (12/28) in Kentucky and the hunter found two fetuses inside her. Based on the size of the fetus, the chart shows the doe was bred on Nov. 15th or 16th.
Isn’t mid Nov kinda late for the rut in the southern US?

I would’ve guessed first week of December. But those older does can come into heat couple of weeks early.

That guy field dresses his deer much more precisely than I do!
