Could does still be pregnant?

Here are some game cam pix. Most of the pix had skinny does that you could see the ribs, but a few here look too fat for this time of year? We've seen no fawns, so I'm wondering if the fawns haven't dropped yet.

What do you think?

Hey JR thanks for the cool pics...Yes we have pic also of doe`s that look like they can bingo at any time now and to us they seem to be a little late...I just wonder how many are going to make it with the drought where in....

I've been told it's impossible for them to be pregnant now. This year has been so messed up, I think anything's possible. We haven't seen 1 fawn on the place all year.

The drought is killing us. Sheep have eaten everything and my parents are having to pay for range feed and alfalfa at big $$$. They're thinking of getting rid of most of the sheep for a while until conditions improve.

How much is the Alfalfa if ya dont mind me askin...

$12/bale.

I went to buy corn and the protien feed was only .50 more than the corn.

Thats cheaper then corn and has about 20% protein i think .

Yeppers sure is cheaper then corn,my brother owns some acres in center point and feeds alf.he say deer go bananas over it.

Anyone know where to buy Alfalfa in or around SA?

The webstie says Tractor Supply in Boerne carries it.

Update on the does. They WERE still carrying and we have a new bunch of fawns now. I'll upload some pix when I get 'em.

Sounds great JR. I hope some rain falls on them fawns and helps them out.

I talked to a buddy that works at a whitetail breeding fascility in Waller Co.

Texas, He said he has 3 mature deer drop dead in the last week!!!!!

These deer have shade,water and plenty of food, but they just cant take the heat. I guess.

Hope they make it thru the rest of summer.

I do too. It's been brutal.

Hunting will be tuff for the next several years even if you do get rain soon!

I agree, TD. The outlook isn't that great for the next few years. It will still be fun getting in the outdoors in November & December when the weather cools off.

I agree.. I haven't shot a deer in 3 years at my place, but I still enjoy getting out there.
