I would think, like humans, there is variance in the process.

Variance is, however, just that.

Outside of standards and the norm.

201 likely stands for the vast majority.



People love stories outside the norm but imho, outside the norm is small percentage.
a fella showed me a pic of a fawn I made the 201 day statement, he replied that was just an average and it was influenced by many things…. He said it like it was fact … just got me to wondering?

I personally think some variance.

I also think much adherence to the norms.

Just like human babies.

Some 6-7 months.

Some 9.5 months.


Mostly 9 months.


I think.

Started a camera survey at one location this weekend.

Looks like a great many of the does are still pregnant.

As best I can tell, we are exactly in the middle of the birthing season.

Dominant does are generally the first to breed. I’ve seen it as early as the 3rd week of October. I have also seen it as late as mid February in Middle Georgia. These were free range deer. That’s a 4 month range which is why we see fawns in various stages. It really doesn’t affect them here because the winters aren’t as harsh. Up north the timing of of conception is more critical due to later green up and lack of food sources.
