You folks got me curious there. Depending on the website, interwebs sources state triplets happen 8 to 14 % of deer births in good healthy population areas. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not feeding them but I'd be surprised if there are folks in the area that are. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 38,157 #15 Posted June 11, 2022 Yeah, nature is a good natural birth controller. On good food most deer have twins. On poor food they have only one or none. Many 3-4 yo deer on excellent feed have triplets. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
