What is immature doe?

[rollingrock]

:confused: Saw someone talking about harvesting an immature doe over CGN. I guess a button buck is an immature buck, but how can I tell if a doe is immature?

She'll still have spots??? Actually I think they must have messed up, it's either antlered or antler less as far as deer go!!

[LOC]

I'd guess it was the smaller of a couple of does togther maybe? Or she still had spots... not really an issue though, like Steelco said, it either has antlers or it doesn't.

[rollingrock]

So nearly she's a fawn still?

[rocksteady]

I would guess the old grey doe, her last years fawn and this years fawn..Big, medium, small..

Just read this, Steelco beat me to it. I guess if you could notice a difference between body size and no horns, but I've never heard of anyone use the phrase immature doe.


I guess a button buck is an immature buck

Take one with no buttons I guess.

I have never heard of an immature doe. But my definition would be a female deer that tries to be a companion for Rudolph before her time! Ha ha! Merry X-mas

I think it may have to do with : a doe , last years fawn , this years fawn. During doe season if you have a draw and see a doe with a small fawn with a stubby nose you know it is this years fawn and won't make it through the winter if you take the big doe, however if you see a doe with what looks like a small doe and you have a tag I would say take the big doe because the other one is probably last years fawn. My 2 cents Mike

As some said...I think it all comes down to size....

[camelsfoot]

Could be just a fawn still with it's mother.

You will never see an immature doe.
They spend all their time in the thick stuff for dissing their parents.
