L, I shot three fallow does last week and they all had amniotic sacs but no descernable foetus. Fallows normally drop their young slightly later than roe do, so the roe may well be further on in their pregnancy. I shot my last roe doe just after christmas so do not know their current status round here.

 

I have stopped doe culling on my two other permissions, but have to carry on as long as possible on the golf course I shoot as the owner requires me to do so. I would lose the stalking if I did not do as he wishes. Fallow and wet golf courses do not mix well, and they cost the owner a lot of money in lost green fees and repairs.

the roe here are varying, but pregnant is pregnant.

if you have an issue here just cull last years does they are easy to spot and great eating.

On most of my ground my culls are complete and just a few to get on sensitive ground like Jon says take out the followers they are still hanging around mum. Only a few weeks off the Buck Season

But to answer the question they have well developed fetus and i have seen roe kids born on the 22nd of march.

thanks guys much appreciated. im gonna wait untill the bucks come in, in that case. no point in getting off to a bad start, a few weeks wont make any difference.
