Not really what I would call a dwarf deer, but I have seen fawns so young they still have had their spots in December and when spring rolled around they were noticeably smaller than all the other yearlings. One could easily have gotten the idea they were dwarfs if you had not watched them thru the winter.

Any chance it was an escaped exotic deer? I saw a roe deer doe following a bunch of whitetail does 10 years ago or so in IL while hunting mid january. It was very odd to see a deer that small at that time of year but I thought it was just a runt until I mentioned it to the land owner who about flipped a gasket. Seems several exotic deer had escaped from a farm not far away.

 

may just be a genetic fluke, like
a white deer

 

Hello from Georgia,

INDEED I HAVE SEEN A DWARF DEER !!!

Many years ago I was hunting my property and after a uneventful morning was walking out on the powerlines with my rifle slung.
Movement caught my eye and when I saw what it was, I was shocked and a bit confused. There was a tiny deer no more than knee high WITH A FULLY FORMED RACK !! The little buck trotted on by while I did my best to get the best memorable view because I KNEW this was very weird. I can equate it to a Key deer but halfway up Georgia is not their natural habitat. So, I have decided that just like some folk, it was a dwarf.
