She didn't get pregnant by herself..
Not that it matters or needs proving. If you know you know..
A fresh one. Just hit the ground. You do the math.

Pour the protein to him, might make P&Y next season.

The ones that can't realize that what they are seeing is a fresh WT fawn probably shouldn't even comment.

LOL

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

johnpaul · 03-17-2023, 05:48 AM

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

tvc184 · 03-17-2023, 06:02 AM

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.

BTLowry · 03-17-2023, 07:47 AM

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

RCDuck · 03-17-2023, 07:57 AM

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.

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?

CaptainDave · 03-17-2023, 06:47 PM

We hunted a small track in Fort Bend county for a few years. Peak rut activity often was over by the start of bow season. Most definitely a challenging and at times frustrating area to hunt.

I wouldn't bet against you
I had a buck trailing a doe here in Feb
Guess we will find out if she was bred if I see a fresh fawn in September

Doe, or doe fawn?

I’ve seen spots in November and out first rut is in September.

We have a blending of East Texas, Coastal, and introduced S Texas genetics all in the same area.

They just hump 24/7/365

Not all deer go by daylight savings time. This has caused massive confusion in the deer breeding world. If the government would stick with one time throughout the year they would all get back to breeding like they are supposed to.

Try hunting a tract of land. Hunting a track is too small of an area unless a deer happens to be standing in said track.

brokeno · 03-18-2023, 08:49 AM

Must have been bred by a buck still in velvet if bred sept 1 st. Humm better check if the neighbors have a pet doe and teenage sons.

Heard a long time ago that white tailed deer pretty much died out in the mid coast area so a bunch where brought in from Florida. Apparently it was the subspecies with the smallest horn and body genetics.
