Evidently you just don't get it.



Through trial and error, and selective survival over several generations, the deer in each area have adapted their breeding schedule so that they breed approximately 200 days before the arrival of spring in their area.


God bless,

I get it just fine, thank you! Now, according to MY calendars, and I would assume yours, 200 days prior to the spring equinox, which IS, after all, the arrival of spring, puts the date WHERE?? August 20 or so?? Even approx., that's not even close in our neck of the woods. Hopefully, you made a mistake with the 200 figure. Isn't the 200 day figure their gestation period? Then again, I'm no expert. LMAOAY
