Roe deer

I've just read that roe deer mate in July and August (I always thought it is in October as other British deer). Interestingly, the fertilised egg only starts to develop the following January so that the birth in May is after the winter weather. I don't whether this buck has now lost his antlers or they never really developed. Any suggests out there?

 

Thanks to all who have visited, commented or faved my photos. (It would be nice if you left a comment too) It is very much appreciated. Constructive criticism welcomed.
