Seems a little late to be a whitetail fawn.

Going to have to go with late drop, but only because of the mother.

100% whitetail. Odocoielus virginianus (whitetail) and Axis axis (Axis) don't mix

i bet it would taste good.

Whitetail. Axis have a dark almost black stripe on its back. Even the little ones.

late drop,,,,

Looks like a slow-roaster to me.

"Odocoielus virginianus" Exactly what I was thinking also.

I'm going to say thats not a white tail and it isnt her fawn.

I have raised whitetail for years and have seen several fawns born even in october she didnt concive her first cycle but looks like she got caught the second go around deffinetlly whitetail fawn.

I’m not beyond admitting when I wrong but look at the way it is built. It’s defiantly very young. Then look at the size of it. That’s not a whitetail fawn. Look at the color the way the red comes up onto its head and the pattern of the spots going down the back of the neck. Then look at how thick its legs are compared to its body size. Whitetail fawns have little spindly legs this thing is built like a Clydesdale compared to other whitetails. I have seen fawns born late and I have seen fawns keep their spots longer than they should but I don’t believe this is the case.

See, I look at that picture and think the exact opposite.

It's definitely built way more like a whitetail than an axis (obviously you disagree).

The only question in my mind is the timing, but given the whitetail doe right next to it, it's fairly conclusively just a late drop in my opinion.

I understand but as far as I know there is an Axis doe right off the camera.

^^^^^^^^this
Definitely this^^^^^

You caught my error, thanks for repeating it. Thats why I shouldn't drink and type during the Rangers let down. My mom and wife are both school teachers so that would make them proud. Let's see if I can correct it.

Whitetail..

It's amazing how similar they both look at the early months.

We had pictures of some spotted fawns in October.

Me too.Notice how the white spots run parallel down it's back.Looks like an axis to me.

Axis and WT dont interbreed. I have a WT fawn that looks exactly the same running around. An Axis fawn would have a solid black stripe down the back and most axis fawns have a furry forehead. Have both running around the ranch right now.
Another note is that there are occasions of Axis and Red deer interbreeding, Id like to see that.

Chupadeer? Suprised it took this long...........
