OLD SPLIT EAR my 24 year old doe is gone
I have watched that doe for all those years come up to this house for her treat--whole corn and I can not even begin to figure out how many fawns she produced and how many of them produced but it probably is in the hundreds..She came up in early June with twins again but seemed a little off on the way she acted and she got worse all the way into August..Then she started showing up real late compared to normal and her ears were drooping a sure sign something was wrong and I had my suspicions..Then in late August no show for several days and just the fawns showed up looking quite
confused..They tried to nurse from one of splitears previous fawns (doe)that stayed with her for the last few years but were run off..They were grazing pretty good but looked smaller than the rest of the fawns..They have made it now to the first of december 2023 and are looking good eating lots of white oak acorns and their moms treat whole corn..I guees I should add that I watched her and videoed for 24 years but I need to say she was alreday a mature doe when we put the new house in and started hanging around so I can not say maybe she was 30 ?????I love to know.. Already missing you old girl
