ideally 14, with two a season and a eight year life span, yeah unlikely, but could happen, more likely around four to seven, one fawn a year, eight year life span
I'm not a deer biologist though so I could be way off.

Under ideal circumstances a doe will produce 3 fawns per year (not all years)and under ideal circumstances she can probably produce fawns at 12 or more years of age and I guess it is very possible that she could produce all buck fawns. I've seen numerous twin buck fawns. It seems the number could easily be over 20, but I honestly don't know what the maximum number could be.
