Doe fawns are usually part of extended doe family groups and often can fall in with other does. Buck fawns hang out with these groups too, at least until spring or fall of their second year, when the majority of them set out on their own and disperse from their birth range to a permanent adult home range. This is known as "yearling-buck dispersal."

Doe or Fawn? During the fall, it can often be difficult to distinguish adult does and fawn deer, particularly if seen alone. In recent years, about 20% of the total antlerless deer harvest has been fawns (5-7 months old), with nearly even proportions of doe fawns and buck fawns.

One of the most critical management practices is to ensure that fawns consume colostrum within first 24-36 hours after birth to provide passive immunity (the transfer of antibodies from the doe to the fawn). Fawns will typically nurse 36 minutes after birth 4 (Townsend and Bailey, 1975). If the doe rejects the fawn, colostrum replacers can be.

Firstly, a mother doe will drive off any male offspring from the previous year. Male deer don't have any issues with attempting to mate with their own mother, so the doe takes no chances. Females from the previous year will often stay with their mother and whitetail deer can form large maternal family groups.

Deer are mainly browsers, feeding on leaves, shoots, woody stems, shrubs, bushes or fruits. They also consume large quantities of forbs, mainly broad leaved, flowering plants, which are not grasses, sedges or rushes. Some grasses are grazed, along with some lichens and mosses.

Nope. A fawn steps out, eases up to the doe and starts grazing. For some, the decision to shoot that doe just became a little more difficult. The fawn doesn't have spots and it's eating the same thing as its mother, but you just aren't sure.

A doe giving birth to fawns for the first time usually exhibits these behaviors, because they are instinctive. So, we believe Cody's doe was seen eating a fawn carcass because of an instinctual reaction to stimuli that are very similar to a birth scene: blood and organs on the ground at fawning time. Very likely, this fawn belonged to this doe.

Normally, the doe gives birth to two fawns. She immediately cleans them--and feeds them. Within a few hours, as soon as the fawns are strong enough, the doe leads them further into the meadow. She leaves them in separate locations, sometimes placing them more than forty meters apart.

Myth: "If a human touches a fawn, the doe will stop taking care of it." This is incorrect. It is best to never touch a fawn unless it is in direct danger, like when it beds down near farm equipment or other dangerous areas. But in the event you do need to touch a fawn or carry it away from danger, you have nothing to worry about.

The doe rarely ventures more than 100 yards away and returns a few times a day just long enough to nurse the fawn. While nursing, the doe will lick the fawn to stimulate waste release, then consume the waste so the odor doesn't attract predators. Fawns grow quickly, so in just a few hours they're already testing their ability to walk.
