Looks like Bucky got lucky after the Fourth of July picnic.

Thats not uncommon along Mid Texas coast..Rut is late aug-sept

We get pictures of bucks dogging does all the time as early as mid august in Jefferson county.

According to TPWD, the Gulf prairies and marshes areas start breeding around August 24.

Assuming the whitetails in those areas can read a calendar and didn’t get frisky a week or so early (which is certainly likely), the first fawns should have started hitting the ground last week.

I’m not sure why a baby kangaroo would want to be out looking for fresh fawns but he will probably come across a couple.

Not arguing by any means but from what I know/ have read the rut is triggered by length of daylight

If that is indeed the case, how would it be around the 1st week in Nov up here, mid to late Dec in south Texas (I may be off on that) but 60 days earlier from my area which is between me and the southern zone?
Something does not add up and quite possibly the whole length of daylight thing is a farce

I don't know anything about the rut down there, but I have a 3ish month old fawn on my place in southern Oklahoma (Spots just starting to fade)... do the math on that... it had to be conceived in April? Seems almost 6 months wrong. Definitely interesting, but I'm not making any rut determinations from it.

Live scope has clearer pictures than that.

Yea, that's a crock right there!! It's the same in East Texas vs. South Texas as far as amount of daylight/day... I've always said that'd a crock about length of days determining timing of the rut! I am not sure WHAT the answer is, but THAT ain't it!

This^^
The daylight formula has been debunked. We have fawns hitting the ground for 5-6 months down here. From Aug to Jan. The earliest rut and the longest "trickle" rut I know of.
But most happens in August and September.

Dang, the internets is serious bidness, huh……..

Maybe because there are different subspecies of WT deer in each of those regions mentioned, that have evolved a little different each to their surrounding/conditions?
