What months do whitetail deer mate?

Are white tailed deer nocturnal or diurnal?

White tail deer are more apt to be nocturnal where they are hunted but none the less they prefer night time browsing. You will always see more deer at night than in the day time no matter where you go. When I was a boy my Dad and I counted 174 deer on about a 40 mile stretch of road. Traveling that same road during the day time we didn't even see one, and as a youth I was always looking for deer when traveling through the country. At the present I hunt a piece of property that the first day I got permission I shot a 14 pointer and hadn't even set my stand up yet. Almost got ran over by a doe and around an 8-10 pointer. This was at around 2:00 pm. Since then (Nov. 2007) I have shot only one other deer there. It truly is all about being in the right place at the right time, (and not stinking to bad). Just the other evening there is some neighbors to the land owner that hunts right next to me and I had raked a trail a little deeper in the woods than my stand sits and walked to the end of it and right at dusk I heard a deer jump a down tree and just knew he was coming my way and about 5 minutes later a single shot in the same direction. So are deer nocturnal? I would say yes but more so where they are hunted and pressured. Even the slightest activity in there play ground and they know it. The catch is, How do you convince them to be more diurnal without scareing them off or waiting for the rut when they are thinking more on breeding than bleeding?

How many doe can a buck mate in a year?

The answer is two fold. It depends on the available Does and the Bucks physical condition. A Buck will continuously mate as many times as possible. During the "Rut" the Buck must find the Does-fight rival Bucks-and mate. This takes a tremendous toll on his physical condition. Bucks will loose between 1/4 to 1/3 of their body weight during this time as he is genetically motivated to mate and not eat. So there is no accurate answer other than as many times as possible. It is my understanding and from watching Bucks in the field- that some will loose so much body weight and strength that they may not survive a harsh winter following the Rut.

How long is the estrous cycle of a whitetail doe?

A deer's estrous cycle happens around the second week after the autumnal equinox, which is a fancy way of saying two weeks after the start of the fall season, or Autumn. Usually around the 2nd to 3rd week of October, this cycle will usually begin, and last through a month to 6 weeks. The reason I say six weeks, is because there are some deer out there that have a later blooming cycle. Altogether, this is the Rut season, and you can use the moon phases, and estrous cycle to tune in when you need to be in the woods for your best chances. During this time, the deer set off scents to one another to let each other know they are ready for some action, and really the only time during the season when deer that are not baited by feeders are at a disadvantage in the woods, because they can be manipulated into searching human made areas of interest. All in all, you can bet on a deer's cycle lasting around 4-6 weeks, and when it happens every year. It's just something in nature that sets them off. Hope that helps, but there are several articles and web sites devoted to this stuff, so if you can find any more truth to this, or a better way of stating it, let me know.

How are a kangaroo and a deer different?

  • Kangaroos are marsupials and deer are placental mammals.
  • Most species of kangaroo have "embryonic diapause". This means female kangaroos can often be in a state of almost permanent pregnancy, with an embryo "suspended" until the mother's body is ready to release it - whether that be when another joey is sufficiently weaned, or feeding conditions have improved.
  • Kangaroos and deer move differently. Deer use all four legs to run and leap. Kangaroos mostly just use their hind legs. Deer can run very fast, but cannot sustain this speed for long distances. Kangaroos are able to travel long distances at a high speed, expending very little energy. They are very energy-efficient, and this is linked directly to the physical action of bringing their hind legs up with each hop. Every hop literally refills the lungs. Kangaroos have large, strong tendons in their hind legs which act as "springs". The springing motion requires less energy than running does, so kangaroos are able to bound for longer distances than other mammals with the standard four legs can run. They have strong back legs and elongated hind feet for bounding.
  • Kangaroos have long, strong tails for balancing. Deer have a small tail which does not serve any significant function.

Do white tailed deer babies have spots when they are born?
