I saw a road-kill fawn only a month ago. The deer are on the move early this year.

Gestation for whitetail deer is approximately 6 and a half months....the rut was in November. Possibly some older does got bred earlier...maybe middle/late Oct. That still would place those does giving birth in mid-April.

I'd guess you saw a late '04 summer fawn.....Unless everything's gone wacky this year....

I do know that it seems the bucks are holding their antlers longer this year. Leastway's around here they are........
