I've read they can grow an inch (2.54 cm) per day. Makes sense when you consider they can be 4 feet (1.22 meters) in length and are shed every year. They're formed from bone.
How long could a deer feed a family?
for a 6-person family, about 6-7 months. but that's just my family. there's too many variables to make an exact judgment
The main food of red deer is grass and sedges on the mountains. They also eat leaves of trees and shrubs such as holly, heather, and bilberry. In hard winters, deer may strip the bark off trees for food, and may also take crops.
What continents can deer be mainly found?
Of all North America's large animals, the white-tailed deer is the most widely distributed and the most numerous. Its range extends from the southern tip of the continent northward well into the boreal, or northern coniferous, forest. Scattered individuals occur as far north as Great Slave Lake. In southern Canada, the white-tailed deer can be found from Cape Breton Island westward to south-central British Columbia. There were at least 15 million white-tails in Canada and the United States in 1982. Average densities throughout its range exceeded three deer per square kilometre.
There are 16 recognized subspecies of white-tailed deer in North America. Only three of these are found in Canada. The northern white-tailed deer is found throughout eastern Canada, from about the Ontario-Manitoba border eastward to Cape Breton. The brushy draws (valleys), parklands, and forest fringes of the prairies, westward to the foothills of the Rockies, are inhabited by the Dakota white-tailed deer. The tawny northwestern white-tailed deer is found in southeastern British Columbia, occasionally straying down the eastern slopes of the continental divide into Alberta.
White-tailed deer are relative newcomers to much of the range they now occupy in Canada. When Europeans first explored the northern half of the continent they found deer in only the most southerly parts of Canada and this situation had not changed much at Confederation. At that time there were no deer in Nova Scotia and they were not numerous in New Brunswick. Deer were in southern Quebec and their range extended some distance down the St. Lawrence River and up the Ottawa River. Although deer were numerous in southern Ontario, none had penetrated northward beyond Lake Nipissing. There were a few white-tailed deer in south-central Manitoba, but most of the remainder of the Prairie Provinces was populated by only the mule deer.
Since then human activities, including the cutting and burning of blocks of forests, the seeding of agricultural crops, the winter feeding of cattle, the reduction of competitors such as mule deer, elk, moose, and bison, and the restriction on hunting of white-tails have helped this deer to extend its range northward and westward. Long-term easing of the severity of winters may have been an important factor. Whatever the exact combination of causes, the range of the white-tailed deer extended considerably during the late 19th and the first half of the 20th centuries. Extension of range and development of substantial populations have been somewhat more recent in Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia than elsewhere in Canada. Thus, the current range of most white-tailed deer in Canada represents a marked recent extension of northern limits. It is not surprising, therefore, that severe winters and changes in habitats cause marked sporadic declines in population levels through much of the currently occupied Canadian range.
What kind of animals eat deer?
a coyote will eat a deer A wolf, mountain lion, fox, people
Wolves, bears, mountain lions
Well we do when we hunt and kill them. When they die on their own or from a battle, coyotes and other wild life will eat off of it it time.

Wolves, lynxes, sometimes bears, moutain lions, coyotes.
Wolves, cougars, bears, coyotes, tigers, lions, crocs, etc. Really the predators that a deer faces depends on where it lives and what species it is.
Can a 1300 fps airgun kill a deer?
If you are talking about a .177 caliber pellet. Most likely the answer is NO. But if you are talking about a 45 caliber or 50 caliber pellet then the answer is Yes. Pellet guns come in .177, .20, .22, .25, 9MM, 45 cal and 50 Caliber. The last 3 sizes are fired by PCP air rifles (Recharged pneumatic ) that require a scuba tank to charge them to 3000 PSI. They are still pellet rifles just the BIG BOY of pellet rifles.
No one knows for sure, but the white tailed deer is common there.
No. When antlers are in the growing stages they are covered in what is called felt, which is a skin covering over bone (which is what antlers are really made of). This felt contains blood vessels and nerves that help protect these growing antlers from being potentially damaged. Once the antlers have fully grown, the felt is shed.
Wood is obtained from trees known as exogens. They grow larger by addiing a new layer each year under the outer surface of bark. The centre of the tree is known as the pith and the wood near the pith termed heart wood and is hard and close grained The sap wood is made up of he outer layers and are soft and generally have a more open grain.
What is a moose favorite food?
A moose's favorite food is new buds coming from the trees, particularly those from willows, mountain ash or poplar trees. They also love eating the marine plants that grow in lakes and sloughs in the summer.
They do not eat deer, they eat grass and hay.
Cows can consider deer a nuisance especially if there are new calves around. But most of the time deer will steer clear of the larger, bulkier herbivores. Cows, when they see something that is smaller than them, will tend to harass and bother them until they leave. Such would be the case if a herd of deer just happened to share a pasture with a herd of cows.
What do Chinese water deer look like?
Water deer are indigenous to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, coastal Jiangsu province (Yancheng Coastal Wetlands), and islands of Zhejiang of east-central China, and in Korea, where the demilitarized zone has provided a protected habitat for a large number. They frequent the tall reeds, rushes along rivers, and in tall grass on mountains and cultivated fields as well as swampy regions and open grasslands.
