Actually technically its not horns they have antlers. Horns never fall off of an animal, whereas antlers do. Deer antlers fall off and regrow every year. You want to shoot a deer with lots of points (antler size) because this means that it is an older deer, more mature than the others, as well as it is likely to be bigger bodied. So this is good for those who want to eat the deer. Which most hunters do.

What type of deer do you see in the winter?

I think you might be referring to bucks, the male deer with antlers.

Bird of prey used for hunting?

Hunters have many different opinions about hunting with dogs. It seems everyone has different opinions on this issue. I think that without the dog no ducks would have been recovered in the hunt. ----- Many hunters of deer feel differently when a pack of baying dogs move in from adjoining tracts and run-off all the deer in the area and ruin their day's hunt. Trespass is just that. I for one do not want somebody's dogs on my land or deer-lease.

How can someone identify a whitetail deer?

They are very easy to identify. For starters, an elk usually has much darker fur than a deer. Deer have more white on them also, and have lighter fur and are smaller. Elk have tall antlers that look like that of a caribou, deer have distinctive antlers. I would recommend searching pictures of each if you want to know more.
