Interesting facts · Roe Deer

Latvia's smallest ungulate — an adult roe deer weighs just 20–30 kg.

It has delayed embryonic development: mating happens in summer, but real foetal growth only starts in winter, so fawns are born in spring.

Bucks shed and regrow their antlers every year; while growing, the antlers are covered in velvet.

In summer a buck often stays within a small territory — a few dozen hectares.

About the data. Source: HuntGate trail camera database (114,838 observations, 219 trail cameras, 2023-042026-06). Only nationwide aggregates are shown — without precise camera locations or personal data. The numbers are event (photo) counts; weather breakdowns are absolute counts, not rates. Species labelling is done manually by HuntGate users themselves as they sort incoming trail camera images, so the data may contain errors. 9 game species; humans and domestic animals excluded.
