Question.
How far along would a doe that was bred in Oct or early Nov be in her pregnancy? I mean would you find a fetus when gutting if you took a doe now?

Don't laugh I dunno I don't shoot doe.
Actually, they have whats called delayed implantation. The doe holds the fertilized egg for a long period before development begins. Otherwise they would starve real quick in the dead of winter with a growing "parasite" inside them.

I'm sorry, to answer your question....You could never tell that they were even pregnant at this time of year. Probably as big as the tip of your pinky finger.
