doe

An hour or so before dusk, a big fat whitetail 'doe' sauntered into the small clearing unaware of my presence as I was hidden from view by the ferns.

Occasionally, a 'doe' will fail to conceive on schedule, but well-bred rabbits are dependable.

Last year, most of the mule deer doe were without fawns, even those 'doe' that dropped their fawns for years within a few yards of our house.

The 'doe' and fawn are doing well under the observation of a veterinary officer.

Since my sweetest 'doe' of all times produced my meanest buck of all times, I'd say that it is possible for things to go the other way around on an individual rabbit basis.

'doe' rabbits

I could tell the deer was a 'doe' ; there were no antlers or antler buds that would indicate a buck.

Following a path without caring where it led as he pondered, he was brought up short when a 'doe' and her young fawn scrambled quickly to their feet and bounded off.
