A femalewhite tailed deer has a gestation period of 200 days. Other breeds of deer have pregnancies as short as 160 days. So about 5.3 months to 6.7 months. Hope it helps! :)

In primary reference to white-tail and mule deer, the gestation period lasts around 200 days. Mule deer tend to have a slightly shorter gestation period than white-tailed deer.

Gestation for a whitetailed deer is about 6 and 1/2 months or 200 days. Does can mate in their first year but usually not untill the second year. Does usually give birth to only one fawn the first time. The second time around the doe can have twins-triplets and in rare occasions quintuplets. Available food sources and weather can affect gestation as well as how many fawns will be born and survive to maturity.
