Deer can and do breed all year around.
***Deer don't and can't breed all year around. A doe may cycle in a few times if she isn't bred, but if the bucks are not hard-horned they don't have the testosterone level to breed a doe even if she comes in at a weird time of the year. Studies show that a doe may come into heat about 5 times starting in October at this latitude until the bucks lose their antlers and that doesn't happen until late winter in some bucks. I saw twin spotted fawns once back in the late 60s during our November deer season here in southern Michigan and one that is dropped in late May to early June like is normal up here would have lost it's spots by September at the latest.
