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.
Do you have a link to a study that supports that theory ? Personally I have never heard of that regarding deer.
DD,
I may be off on the exact terminology. But did you ever shoot a doe and get a fetus roast for Sunday supper? Oh, I forgit, you only shoot them buttons.
