Gestation period for a hog is three months, three weeks, and three days.

What is the gestation period for whitetail deer?



Video of whitetail deer birth embedded at bottom of article….Most whitetail deer (particularly males) mate in their second year, although some females occasionally mate as young as seven months. Bucks are polygamous although they may form an attachment and stay with a single doe for several days or even weeks until she reaches oestrus. Does are seasonally polyestrous and usually come into heat in November for a short twenty-four hour period. If a doe is not mated, a second estrus occurs approximately 28 days later. Mating occurs from October to December and gestation is approximately 6 and a half months (200 days). In her first year of breeding, a female generally has one fawn, but 2 per litter (occasionally 3 or 4) are born in subsequent years. Fawns are able to walk at birth and nibble on vegetation only a few days later.

I own land in 3 states: Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri. The only place that has hogs is Oklahoma and they have done little if any damage (so far). The deer in Kansas and Missouri easily cost me thousands of dollars due to the amount of crops they eat. With this said, I do know a person with a sod farm that gets killed each year with hogs rooting up bugs/worms on his sod. This is due to the irrigation they use to keep the ground moist and the hogs have figured it out. Everyone keeps telling him to put up a fence to keep them out....oh well. Rest assured, they don't do any more damage to his fields than the deer do to mine in Ks and Mo. You should see the measures that have to be done in order to start an orchard in Mo.....those deer will destroy every sapling in a few nights.

Hogs do multiply quicker. I have thousands of pics of hog on my place. It seems they have babies about 3 times every 2 years on my place and it seems about 5 piglets survive to mate on each litter.

For the record, I would rather eat smoked pulled pork over any venison. Not to say that I don't like venison, because I do.

interesting discussion ... my dad raised me to kill under 3 circumstances. 1) going to eat it. 2) you are in danger or its destroying your property. 3) some good will come from it being killed.
some people just get a thrill out of killing ... not my cup of tea but I will leave a hog lay if I don't have room in my freezers or any of my friends freezers if the land owner requests all hogs to be shot.

and a number of years ago a friend of my dad had an over infestation of deer wiping out his crops during non-hunting season, he contacted the TPWD to which they told him he could shoot as many as he wanted but HAD to leave them laying. Laws/rules might have changed since then though...

Deer are a game, hogs are a pest along the lines of starlings, english house sparrows and grackles..

I do not let them lay, I drag them to the edge of a field where the coyotes can get them then I shoot the coyotes and let them lay

hogs tear things up known to eat deer and ruin roads and crops, and they multiply like crazy sometimes 2 - 3 breads in a single year with 9 babies at a time. deer breed once a year with 2 at most and die form yotes and hogs. deer taste good most hogs dont. doesent take a hunter to kill a hog takes a little skill to shoot a deer in most places

If I kill a large critter, someone is going to eat it. Might be me, might be relatives, might be friends - but it will go in a freezer. If I know that I can't give it away, I'll let it walk. Can't see any difference between a pig and deer, except the pig is usually much better eating. I hunt to eat, not for target practice.

Pigs damage crops, but so do deer. I've gotten more invites to shoot deer that are damaging crops than I have pigs, and have even been told to shoot all the does (in a buck-only county) because of the damage being done.
