Odocoileus virginianus
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.
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.
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.
