If a doe is bred in Nov. 1 ; how many days does she carry till birth ? Ray.

They give birth in about 200 days

The gestation period is around 200 days, that would make it in mid-late May.

I have read that even the does that are impregnated in the late rut (Dec), give birth about the same time as those impregnated in Nov.
Reason: the predators cannot devour all the fawns at once, giving them time to grow and develop a means of defense (running).

Interesting. I've never heard that before.
