The Key Deer is native to the Florida Keys and lives in low scrub and mangrove.

Yes. White tailed deer eat a lot of food. Since they eat plants they need to eat more food than carnivores. They have difficulty finding a lot of food in a number of forests since the leaves they like are on tall trees and are too high for them to reach. They have discovered that plants around suburban houses are just the right height. As a result, they have become a nuisance in suburban area. They destroy shrubbery. They also recognize people as predators and tend to attack them with antlers or hooves. Some people see how beautiful they are and forget they are wild animals.

The peak breading season starts around November 10 and goes through Thanksgiving. You may see rutting behavior prior to and after these dates, but most breeding takes place in mid-November.

Yes. I have watched them spend hours eating acorns. Acorns are the main food source in some areas.

After all my years of hunting in MS. The rut seems to typically start the last two weeks of december. It kinda depends on factors like weather and geography. Ive had alot of time in the woods lately and have already seen small bucks chasing does. Maybe a early rut? Hope it helps

The absolute number one way to find out when the rut is happening in your area(because they dont all happen at one same time all over the state-usually start up north first) is to check with your local taxidermist. I live in central Ms. and my taxidermist friend says he always gets the majority of his bucks the week before Christmas and the week after. Granted, more people are off work and hunting more during these times, but my hunting experiences here have proven to me over the years that thats when the rut is the hottest here.

A deer is endothermic, able to maintain and regulate its own body temperature. It is a mammal, and mammals and birds are endothermic. The term 'endothermic' is the biological term for an animal that is warm-blooded.

most rodents (for ex: mice, rats, gerbils, and squirrels) use their tail to balance when they're up high. However, some animals don't go up high and don't need their tails for balancing; beavers use their tails to pack much and wood together to make a dam.

From what I've read its between 8 and 14 years, with the record being 19 for a deer in captivity.

Yes, very good hearing.

Deer have a somewhat large vocabulary. They use grunts and snorts of several kinds. A Buck will use it's antlers rubbing a tree or shaking a bush or sapling to show other bucks how big andtough he is. Deer will also stomp the ground or a tree root to alert other deer in the area. The grunts sound a lot like pigs. I was in a tree stand at night just listening- there were approximately 20 deer around the stand. It sounded like a pig pen. A large buck came in and gave two long deep grunts and the group ran for cover.

Not real sure what you are looking for here but the Indians referred to the Whitetailed deer as the Grey Ghost. In the forest-deer can seem to "appear" from out of nowhere and can move silently through the trees and brush.

No one knows for sure, but the white tailed deer is common there.

The doe only leaves the fawn when it is eating. They'll usually be near the fawns surroundings.

The difference between mule deer and white tale deer is that mule deer are slightly larger than white tales and live in colder areas. The white tale deer's tale is white on the end and the mule deer's is black. Mule deer have more of a brown gray color and the white tale is more red.

Deer are herbivores, plant eaters. I suppose they might accidentally munch down the occasional insect that was unable to get out of the way, but that's as far as it goes.

The story of the top whitetail ever shot is as great as the deer.

When 15-year-old Tony Lovstuen pulled the trigger of his muzzleloader on the afternoon of Sept. 29, 2003, he ended the reign of a buck that already was world famous. The Iowa non-typical had become known to the hunting world through Ron Willmore and Brian Lindberg's article in the Feb. 2002 issue of North American Whitetail magazine, in which trail camera photos and shed antlers of the then-living buck were shown. The magazine dubbed the deer "Iowa's Walking World Record," and the name was fitting. With a potential score of nearly 300 inches on the Boone and Crockett system, the Monroe County giant would indeed have been a world record if taken with either a bow or muzzleloader.

Tony's dad, Doug Lovstuen, grazed the buck's neck during the 2001 gun season, and the next summer, trail camera shots showed that the right antler was stunted. Before long, that side of the rack actually fell off. But by the summer of 2003 the deer's rack was bigger than ever, as confirmed by more trail camera photos. Doug and his cousins, Steve Angran and Mark Murphy, decided it was time to pool their efforts to hunt the animal, which spent most of his time on their family's land.

By then, plenty of other hunters in the area were also looking to make whitetail history. Fearful that the deer would be shot by a neighboring hunter or poacher, get hit by a vehicle or break an antler while rubbing, the family recruited Doug's son, Tony, to pursue him during September's special youth season. This early season allows a youth accompanied by an adult to hunt deer with a bow, shotgun or muzzleloader prior to the regular archery season.

On Sept. 29, Tony accompanied Doug and Mark to a ground blind in one of the buck's favorite areas. That evening a small buck stepped out, followed by the one they wanted. Tony's 70-yard shot hit the buck in the midsection, and he was recovered the next day.

The 38-point rack received a "green" B&C score of 322 4/8 - far above the existing hunter-taken world record of 295 6/8 - and soon the hunting world was abuzz with the news. The Jan. and Feb. 2004 issues of North American Whitetail had the first photos and details of the hunt, bringing the remarkable story full circle. Although a panel of measurers later reduced the Lovstuen buck's final score to 307 5/8, that was still enough to make him the "world's biggest hunter-taken whitetail." That designation and the events surrounding the deer's life make him a trophy for the ages.

The real rutting activity typically begins the second week of November. Starting anywhere between Nov. 3-8, expect to see good buck activity. By the time gun season rolls around, the rut is officially in full swing. (Nov. 8-22) you'll see good activity.

supposedly a whitetail taken by Carl. J Lenander from Minnesota. With a weight of 402 lbs. field dressed and an estimated live weight of 511 lbs! Just goes to show how big MN Bucks are...
