Field Notes
Description:
The deer's coat is a reddish-brown in the spring and summer and turns to a grey-brown throughout the fall and winter. The deer can be recognized by the characteristic white underside to its tail, which it shows as a signal of alarm by raising the tail during escape.
Habitat:
White-tailed deer are generalists and can adapt to a wide variety of habitats.[14] The largest deer occur in the temperate regions of Canada and United States. The Northern white-tailed deer (borealis), Dakota white-tailed deer (dacotensis), and Northwest white-tailed deer (ochrourus) are some of the largest animals, with large antlers. The smallest deer occur in the Florida Keys.
Notes:
These are two pictures my dad captured on his outdoor game camera. One is a small fawn and the other is a year and half old, 3point buck.
