We have 3 does with twins this year showing up on our various game cameras.
They are all from different does as we can identify the does from their markings.
Anyone else seeing lots of twins this year?
Cheers,

Yes fawn crops were good and a little later than normal this year.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people? ![[Linked Image]](http://neoswarm.com/images/Bug_Crawling.gif)

Lots of twins and seems like every doe has at least one fawn.
I did take a couple of does so far this archery season that didn't.

Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

Lots of twins and can hardly tell the fawns from young mothers...they are huge Agree with huge statement. I have many younger looking deer, some of which are hard to tell if they are 1.5 or yearlings, but they are almost all full size at this point. I have one fawn still with spots, but those gotta be coming off soon as the nights are getting cooler and that winter coat has got to be getting close. Will a yearling Buck have spots the same way a doe fawn has spots? Just curious as I have a smaller buck, small 6 pointer, who was out with a fawn, might be bro and sis, but hard to tell...

I never even saw a single fawn this year. Strange, last year I saw a couple of sets of twins. Lot's of water this year, green stuff too. Maybe that's the deal.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it.
Don't text and drive.

Mother natures way of replenishing after the drought years. As long as we have good rainfall.. you'll be seeing more twins.
To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.www.NewHopeEquine.com - Health and Healing through Horses.

I was going to start seeing twins this year but it might cut into my hunting time. 
Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.
