Also if memory serves me, this doe showed up Pre-Rut, so it is doubtful that even if she was in a breeding program that she was bred by the intended buck. Notice the date of the picture, and I can not remember if this was among the first pictures of this animal or the first picture.

This is in reply to both you and Tye.

There is not a high fence operation in miles of where that deer is at.

That is a cattle fly tag in its ear, and there is a 90%+ probability that deer was a fawn that someone in that area raised as a pet and when it got old enough, it cut a trail.

I grew up in the area where HT hunts and there are 2 or 3 fawns raised by people in that area yearly and they all eventually wander off and join the wild population.

There are still some areas around the state that don't have high fence operations and not all high fence operations have intense breeding programs.

This animal is traveling in an area that is all low fenced properties and I am pretty sure the closest actual high fenced property is close to 10 miles away, maybe further. I know for a fact there is nothing closer than 5 miles.
