At some point they are 2 1/2, 3 1/2, 4 1/2 or 5 1/2, and that usually occurs during deer season.


yeah i rarely see deer born in December


Exactly!!!!

The deer's gestation period is 200 to 205 days, lets say. Does bred in late December will be born in mid July.

So, by the time January rolls around, they will be 1/2 a year old. The next January, they will be 1 1/2 and so on.

That is why most folks refer to deer being 4 1/2 years old, and simply not 4, because they would turn 4 in July and would be 4 1/2 in January.
