This doe looks like she is still pregnant. I have a bunch of pictures of her and good Lord she has a belly on her. I swear last Fall into Winter I had a real small fawn running around. Way smaller than all the other fawns. I am starting to wonder if it came from this doe. She currently does not have a fawn with her ever. Will a doe cycle every month until she is bred going into Winter? Maybe this doe somehow got out of cycle the 1st year and having a really late fawn every year puts her in the same situation year after year.

You reminded me of a picture I posted this winter of a tiny deer, which reminded me of pics I took the other day. Cropped cell phone pics from the automobile.
Outside of Key Deer in Florida, this is the smallest deer I've ever seen with antlers. Tthis is at work, way too high deer numbers for the carrying capacity I guess, we're breeding tiny deer? 15 years ago you never saw deer there, now you can see herds of 20-40 of them. I wouldn't think it possible for them to adapt that quickly, it's got to take decades if not hundreds of years, no? Maybe not, because we got some tiny deer. Little bucks with comically large racks, you wonder how some of them don't fall over.
Anyway, for scale, here he is next to a very small, young doe.

Good Lord this one is a tank! He hasn’t gotten anything special for a rack, but he still has over a month before the rut to add to his body size. I thought this was the same deer I posted photos of before but thus one has a much larger body. Racks are very similar though. This might be my main target buck currently. Based solely on age and amount of Summer Sausage production.

We had one like that. Called him Tony Bagadonuts. A year later we shortened it to Vito. My son finally got him. He didn’t have much of his front teeth left.Good Lord this one is a tank!

That’s a target at my place. Much rather hunt him than a 3 year old 12 point.
But he’s pretty smart.

Did you ever encounter any of those nice ones you had on camera last summer/fall?
No. I didn’t shoot anything last year. I don’t recall seeing any of them either. And this year I don’t have much on camera so far.
