Spotless Fawn Whitetail deer fawns are normally born sometime between late April and early July. At birth, they have a spotted reddish coat that is fairly silky. There may be several hundred spots on the coat. The spots enable the fawn to camouflage itself, with the colors blending well with the surrounding natural environment. As the spots disappear, in 3-4 months after birth, the fawn’s coat also changes from its reddish color to a grayish winter coat. When a fawn is born it is odorless so that predators are not attracted to its location. When a fawn detects danger it will remain perfectly still. Fawns that live past the first week have a good chance of surviving to adulthood.
