Spots on triplets

[onemilmhz]

We have a doe who drops triplets each year. I think her pics are kinda cool. This is the first time I've noticed two of them lose their spots much faster than the third. Is there some correlation to sex and how long they keep their spots? I've always wondered the ratio of males/females she has.

That is one big, healthy looking mamma! Kids are looking healthy too...sorry, no idea about spots correlating to sex. Beautiful gal for sure!

In General in nature fawns are born at a 1 to 1 ratio. She could have 3 buck fawns or 3 doe fawns or any combination of bucks and does. The one holding its spots appears to have a knot above its eye indicating a buck fawn. I've never read anything about determining the sex by there spots though. Healthy moma and baby's

Healthy looking for sure ! I'd make sure she stays on the " do not shoot " list , she's ensuring your population stays up .

Spots on fawns are "lost" when they start "growing" their winter coat. Usually around 120 days from birth

Great pics!

Those could be the trophies we hunt in 3-4 years!
