dont see what it matters for deer to all be dropping fawns at the same time
Dropping them all at the same time, gives predators a narrower window to catch and eat 2 week old fawns.
It also keeps your bucks born on time. Late born bucks will have less time to grow horns than earlier born bucks. Think buck born from does bed in mid December vs bucks born to does bred in February.
That may be a bit of an extreme example, but if they are overpopulated, its possible that doe may not breed until her second estrous.

that's one way to look at it other way would be that IF some drastic event (extreme weather would be one example) happened and wiped out all that age class of fawns then the ones born later would be better off because they would be the only ones alive
