What am I seeing in the data?

Your not the first person to notice that. I would like to understand that myself. Good question.

That article referenced goes into detail about that. It started with a genetic difference from when deer were moved here and the climate difference has not required that to change. In other words fawning can occur later without negative effects. That's what I gleaned anyway.

If I may ask a crazy question . Do the older guys know when a certain doe in his territory is coming in heat?

Zero doubt in my mind. I plan my hunts around it with high enough success rate that it can't be coincidence.
