Check out the date stamp on this pic I got on trail cam. Looks to only be a few weeks/days old. Must have miscarried and came back into estrus in march. Poor thing wont make the winter. Would make a sweet full body mounth though and at least the deer wouldn’t go to waste. What if it’s the virgin Mary of deer hunting and that is a future 220″???? The buck is just to prove the authenticity of the date.
That poor thing doesn’t stand a chance. 
No doubt it’s hard enough for these critters to survive after 6 months of growth.
WHAT????
Has anyone else ever heard of this kind of thing?? Amazing!
And can someone zoon in on that little guy? This blows my mind!
I seen the same thing once when in my stand. There was snow on the ground and I had been in my stand for about 20 minutes. I usually sit in my stand for awhile just listening to the woods to try to get a feel for it and what its doing. I thought I’d give grunting a try and when I did this young fawn came out of a raspberry briar patch infront of me about 30 yrds and hauled as- away from the grunting. It couldn’t have weighed 40 pounds and still had its spots that weren’t even fading yet. Its common knowledge down here that if a doe doesn’t get bred, which most do or a fawn comes into estrous late into the season is where these fawns come from. This fawn was in full spots and 2″ of snow on the ground. The dnr here says thats a sign of a healthy deer herd. There was alot of alfalfa growing in this area and I’m sure it had been taught to eat that so the one I seen maybe hopefully made it through winter.
Nice picture. Post it in the trail cam contest too!
My nephew who also hunts in Cental Wis. told me the other day he saw two fawns with spots still on them. Thought he was full of it, but then again maybe not. 
Nut
Thats crazy – I’ve never seen anything like that.

This is the best I could do. 
where is the trail cam contest?
General Discussion forum. One of the sticky threads at the top.
I saw one just like that last year in a hay field in the end of Oct. beginning of Nov. Had spots and walked over to a doe (not even sure if it was it’s mom, becaue they came from opposite sides of the field) and proceeded to hit the teet. Dangdest thing I’d ever seen at that time of year.
Natureboy-
Here’s a couple pics from my buddy on Gun Opener in MN 08′ (Nov 7-8th??) any how, your pic reminded me of this little one. I’m not so sure that the Mom’s of the little one’s were late fawn’s themselves that made it?? just a thought
Is that a bobcat? Sorry…had to say it. Joke from a previous thread.
A couple years ago I saw a fawn with spots in the middle of january While ice fishing lake okaboji in north west Iowa. It seemed to be doing fine and was still hanging around it’s mother.
