Pre-breeding = only one deer, the doe

Post-breeding = doe, fetus, possibly second fetus - multiple deer, multiple mouths


As far as managing the herd:

Pre-breeding = one doe plus the fawns she would have dropped

Post-breeding = one doe plus the fawns she would have dropped

Either way, the doe and the fawns she would drop in the future are out of the equation.
