    Yes, they can retain sperm from the previous breeding season. I believe I've heard of confirmed cases where a female retained sperm for 2 or 3 seasons even.

    There is also something called parthenogenesis (I think), which is when a female essentially clones herself and becomes gravid without ever having contact with a male.
