Whitetail Deer - Reproduction
Whitetail Deer usually mate in their second year, but some does are able to breed at the age of 7 months. The rut season occurs from October to December and the gestation period lasts for 6.5 months. Young females give birth to a single fawn, but then they may have 2-3 young. The mother nurses the fawns for about 8 weeks and then they add vegetation to their diet. At the age of 10 weeks the fawns are weaned completely. Maximum lifespan for
Whitetail Deer is 20 years, but the majority of them live to be 3-4 years old due to hunting and
predation.
Whitetail Deer males take no part in raising the young, but the females are very protective mothers. Females leave their babies in a hiding place while they forage. The fawns lay on the ground well camouflaged against the ground. Fawns withhold their feces and urine until the mother arrives. She eats these feces to make sure that predators cannot detect the den with the babies. Young males leave their mother when they are 1 year of age, but the females may stay with mother until they are 2 years
old. Whitetail Deer - Status
Whitetail Deer are common in all their habitats. There are about 8 -15 million of them, although exact counts have not been made. In the beginning of the 20th
century, Whitetail Deer were at the edge of extinction, but today as hunting is
regulated, Whitetail Deer have reached their highest numbers.
