Deer Facts Breeding season or the "rut" as it is commonly called for whitetails, begins in September and terminates by January in much of North America. In Virginia, the peak of the rut typically occurs just after mid November over most of the state and possibly a little earlier as you move east. Conception data for Virginia whitetails indicates that the majority of does are bred in a 2-week period. The gestation period for white-tailed deer averages about 200 days. In Virginia, the majority of fawns are born in early June. Healthy adult female deer will generally give birth to two fawns annually. Triplet fawns are rare, and quadruplets have been documented. |
