6 MONTHS ** A doe has the ability to STALL off the growth of a fetus. This has been known to happen if the weather gets real bad and food is scarce, so it can take longer for the gestation time.
11 to 12 years...usually a little short cuz their teeth wear down and they can not eat... UPDATE: 11 to 12 years is not right, they CAN live as long as 16-18 years (which is what the question asked) - i have one that is 14 years old that i use as my surrogate mother to the fawns i rehab, i don't know if her teeth are wearing down or not but she eats just fine...
The white tail deer starts the breeding process in September and lasts until January. There are 5 phases of the rut for breeding in the buck's hierarchy. The gestation period is 180 days and usually born in late spring. The doe will usually give birth to twins if she is a healthy deer. The fawns usually are born between May and June and by the fall, the fawns have lost all of there spots. I have seen late bloomers too, and have a hard time through the winter months. Jim also has a great answer, but I have studied the whitetail deer for 30 years in the field, and usually the peak breeding time is on the harvest moon phase and around the November 1st, for a brief period when (most) the does come into estrus.
males are about 77" long and females are about 67" long.
About 200 days.
Anywhere up to ten months.
How long dose a deer gives birth
Black-tailed deer have a gestation period of around 210 days.
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! :)
