Thanks for the chart, My didnt make that chart though because they are all still carrying. I didnt witness any breeding activity this year so I am going to have to figure it out backwards this year.
 
Randy published a gestation chart for whitetails 190 days, 196 days, 200 days, and 205 days for those who got the Spring '09 Deer Tracking Magazine
 
My question on this gestation chart, what is the number of days this is referring to? The reason I ask is, this chart doesn't fit with my conception and births. I have the same doe conceive on Halloween every year, yet she delivers her fawns on May 10 - 12, which is a week earlier than this chart suggests.



My deer all seem to deliver about a week earlier than chart suggests they should. Is it a difference in genetics that can cause this? Or some other reason?
 
Here is a great chart a friend of mine emailed me based on 196 days.
