At first they were with mamma. Now we just see the 3 little ones. They still have the white spots on their backs. We were wondering if the doe has weaned them or if something has happened to her. What is the age of fawns being weaned? Thanks for your help. We have 3 small fawns in our neighborhood. At first they were with mamma. Now we just see the 3 little ones.

We live out past Lago Vista, Texas, where there are probably more deer than people, so I was really intrigued by the little doe I saw today. She was more delicate-looking than the other white tails in our neighborhood. Was out running this morning and saw a melanistic doe in a neighbor’s yard.

We see them in our backyard. The mother appears to be a standard whitetail doe. We have several adult black deer and some that appear to have traits of both in our country neighborhood [everyone has 2 - 10 acres] outside of Dripping Springs. The advantage to the black deer is that they disappear in shadows. You can't see them under a large cedar. Very interesting, but we notice that their heads are skinnier and ears are bigger. It's not just a color variation. We have a pair of fawns, one is a standard whitetail fawn and the other is black. We see them in our backyard. The mother appears to be a standard whitetail doe.

I have seen some nice deer in my time of hunting, but nothing close to that big. He is definitely a nice looking deer. Yea,h I can see why someone would have a heart attack over that monster deer.
