When does a fawn lose its spots?
Fawns are born with spots for camouflage against predators, also when born it is without scent (odorless) so said predators cannot find their location, the mother even stays away for a few days so her scent won't rub off and that give the fawn time to gain strength, once the fawn nears adulthood they are agile and allusive and the spots disappear along with the reddish coat and turns to a grayish winter coat.

Can deer be hunted with a m4 carbine rifle in California?
The only thing I've found in the California regs on this is that they must be taken with a centrefire rifle using expanding or soft nose projectiles. So, theoretically, you could.
However, you can't own an M4 in California... the only way you can even own a semi auto clone is if it either uses the "bullet button", or is entirely featureless for a detached magazine rifle (no pistol grip, flash suppressor, collapsible buttstock, etc.) AND is built on an off-list lower.

What is the best deer call for hunting?
you dont use deer calls use smells
If'n you are a thanking you no how to sound like a deer in heat, then go head and get in that mood and start a hollering. If you start getting a prodding in yore rear end though, do not be superised. Yore dear hollering worked! But if'n you want to take the "smell" approach to detract the deer, then first thang is you do not want to bath for 7 days. 7 days is the Lord's number and will brang you good luck. The premise is the deer will smell you and just give up. I hope that helps. :)
I just kind of thought that maybe it was an evoulation type thing. To my knowledge most of the states that have mule deer usually have deep snow in the winter, and they had developed this to get through deep/drifted snow.
Deer is a mammal ad its body covering is called skin . Its skin possess hairs which help in endothermy . Its skin is colored and color is matching to environment which helps in camouflage and counter shading . Sweat glands are present in skin to provide evaporative cooling .
