Whitetail Fawn Hiding

Whitetail Fawn - Promised Land Zoo

Females give birth to one, two or even possibly three spotted young, known as fawns in mid to late spring, generally in May or June. Fawns lose their spots during the first summer and will weigh from 44 to 77 pounds (20 to 35 kg) by the first winter. Male fawns tend to be slightly larger and heavier than females.

i just saw a fawn with its mother behind my house in Mississippi. Your site helped me determine its likely age…probably 3-4 months.
