Does a deer stay in same area?
Think of this question as one that requires common-sense. If you were "spooked" away from a place would you return? Deers think the same way. If they had an option it's not likely that they would go through the same path. Though, without realizing they may end up in the area they were "spooked" away from.
Most of the Northern states have deer (including Alaska) because deer do not like to live where it is very hot.

I have to disagree. I believe that all 50 states have deer- although they are different species of deer. Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi are ALL very hot states- with a good deer population.
Deer don't hibernate. In the winter they will however sleep longer hours and generally restrict excess movement, meaning they'll stay closer to 'home'. This way, they can preserve energy as food supplies are lower in winter and they're using energy to keep warm.
Deer species do not hibernate in any way. White-tailed deer 'yard up' which means they avoid deep snow by finding groves of evergreens such as hemlock trees that can hold up some of the snow, allowing them to walk better underneath. The deer don't eat very nutritiously during this lean peroid, but they do eat what browse is available, and add bark and othe lower nutrition foods to their diet. Mostly they rely on fat stores and move less. Often they lie in the sun on winter days on edges of woods to warm up, saving energy.
Why would a person want to go deer hunting?
There is no point. Hunting is wrong. Animals are people with fur they think and breath just like us. Some people find that hunting gives us things that we need.but we have grocery stores. If you are a hunter your point would be for food and valuables.But you shouldn't hunt deer for the valuables or for the stupid blood sport it is.
Hunting has no point it is so cruel that i am having a hard time writing to all you today.

They don't lick up water; they're not cats or dogs. Deer, essentially suck up water, using a vacuum effect with their mouth and tongue to bring water into their mouths before swallowing.
It's just like you would drink from a wide bowl of water: instead of tipping it towards you and have the risk of having all that water splash down your front, you just leave it on the ground (or table or counter-top) and use your lips and tongue to suck it up into your mouth.
Deer are herbivorous creatures they do not "hunt" they graze.
Yes they do because they are mammals and all mammals give live birth, amphibians lay eggs and then they hatch. (:

How many deer are killed each year in Florida?
Within the past century, Florida's deer herd has gone through many changes. In the late 1930s, there were only about 20,000 deer in the state and they were nearly extirpated in south Florida during an effort to eradicate tick-borne diseases. The Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission (GFC) responded to this by purchasing deer from various sources-- including a game farm in Wisconsin--and transplanting them to unoccupied areas in Florida. Also, killing adult females (does) was prohibited during the early restocking period, to further ensure success.
These efforts were successful and now population estimates exceed 700,000 deer statewide. This number, in combination with a growing human population, presents new challenges. In several areas, deer have become so numerous, landowners complain of damage to agricultural crops and ornamental plantings
Yes, they are. They hunt elk, deer, moose, ect. Some times, to protect a pack or a family (almost the same thing), wolves have to kill coyotes and bears, but i don't think they eat them. if they are scarce on prey they MIGHT eat the bear... great question :)
Why are deers endangered species?
How Key Deer
Became Endangered
Key deer are endangered for a number of reasons.
While the status of the Key deer is still precarious, at least it is more secure than in the 1940s when only an estimated 50 animals remained.
Hunting and some habitat destruction had eliminated the rest. The establishment of the National Key Deer Refuge in 1957, coupled with strong law enforcement, saved the herd from extinction.
Today, traffic accidents account for about 70 percent of the Key deer fatalities each year. It's a situation that isn't likely to improve.
U.S. 1, the main thoroughfare through the Keys, is one of the roads that bisects the refuge.
About half the fatalities happen along this roadway despite a posted speed limit that is lower than on any other island.
These collisions are just as apt to take place during the day as at night. Obviously, this is one instance where sharing the land isn't working at all well.
The problem is that only 40 percent of Big Pine Key is protected habitat. On a map, the island is revealed as a checkerboard of houses and businesses
The current population of this tiny subspecies of the white tailed deer is around 800.
Yes! They both have hooves and share a same ancestor. These two animals are also related to camels,giraffes,horses,okapi and other animals too.Look up "horse evolution"by dreamscenegirl on youtube to lean more!
Can a whitetail deer get gangrene?
yes they can... i think in most cases it occurs from being shot during hunting seasons. My father has taken a few deer that have had gangrene from either being shot with rifles or bows and arrows.
I personally have never harvested a deer with it but just 3 days i shot what appeared to be a normal spring gobbler(wild turkey) until i began to skin him out. He had the beginning stages of gangrene starting to form on his leg from what appeared to be a puncture wound probably caused by a spur from another turkey he fought with.
Will deer eat my dahilia flowers plants?
From what I'm finding on the Internet, deer might or might not eat dahlias. It seems to depend if they have other items to munch on that they like better.
Is deer a domestic or wild animal?
They could be if they were farmed or in a petting zoo, but the majority are in the wild and as a whole they are not considered domestic animals.
Yes, seals, whales, orcas, sharks, crustaceans, fish, foxes, rabbits and hares, and a long list of others.
And, penguins do not live in the arctic. They live only in the Southern Hemisphere, as far north as the Galapagos Islands.
What is the relationship between a deer and a shrub?
No. Because grasshoppers live a different way then a deer.
Yes, deer eat flowers.
Specifically, the mammal in question counts among the herbivores of the world. Deer therefore enjoy feeding upon herbaceous and woody plant parts. They will eat flowers from flowering plants on the ground as well as from flowering shrubs, trees and vines.
Wherever food sources lead them is the location to which deer [Cervidae] migrate during winter. Specifically, deer may or may not migrate depending upon their population numbers and upon the available food supply. For example, white tailed deer [Odocoileus virginianus] tend to increase quite quickly in numbers. They also tend to graze specific areas. They'll stay where they are in the absence of viable competition, intervention or threats.
