Default Deer Math

So a quick google search found this:

https://www.google.ca/search?client=...ile-gws-wiz-hp

The gestation period for a typical whitetail doe is 200days.


Then when we try to find 200 days forward of the 17th of November we get this date.

June 5th!

Then when researched as to how long fawns take to wean it comes up with a much broader time frame.
