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...

In the brush, woods, thickets, brambles, deadfall, wherever they can bed down at night to rest but at the same time be able to keep a eye and an ear out for predators.

As a deer farmer, I have found that whitetail deer can be pleased very easily. They like a little woods and a lot of pasture for them to eat.

Well most of the time it is when they are starting to rut. They do this to mark there territory allot like a dog. This is done also to attract the Doe's

During rutting season bucks fight over does and mate with them. Around 8 months later the does give birth to one or two fawns.

Yes. Wolves do eat deer. They also eat elk too.

Above ground!

because the white tailed deer has both beauty and power and was relied on by native Americans and settlers.

White tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) can be found in all of the states in the US except California, Nevada, Utah, Alaska, and Hawaii.

Black-tailed deer are primarily found in the very southeastern part of the United States, particularly prominent around Florida.

White-tailed deer, on the other hand, are far more commonly found throughout the US and extend into Canada.

Fawns need their mothers for roughly 90 - 120 days. Here in Minnesota deer are usually breed the first week in November and have their babies roughly 200 days later. They have their fawns at the end of may or beginning of June. They are kicked out by the mother at the latest by next breeding season.

In the woods. Usually in a grassy area where they can hide as they sleep. They will also bed down in a field if the grass or crops are high enough. They like to sleep where the grass is tall enough for them to hide but be short enough for them to lift their head and see over it for predators.

A lot depends on the food supply. Usually 1. Twins are common. Triplets are rare. I have witnessed a doe give birth to triplets one year during Spring Turkey season. I was 20 feet away. It was an amazing sight.

Normally, the female Whitetail Deer will go into heat in November, the exact timing depending on the latitude. I'm not sure if the reason for the variation is hours of sunlight or the descending temperatures. This rut lasts about a week. The gestation period is 200 days, which will mean that the first batch of fawns are born in late May to early June. The females that are not impregnated during that first November rut will go into heat again one month later, ie in December. Then a second, but smaller batch of fawns will be born in late June or early July.

6-8 feet tall on hind legs and when standing on four legs 4-6

First ,when it is born it is called a fawn or a baby. Then it turns into a yearly or one year old then it turns into a doe or buck or adult deer.

No they don't , there is no white tail living on any of the coastal islands, only black-tailed deer, which also live on the mainland along with mule deer and further from the coast you will find white-tailed deer

No. Deer are herbivores. They eat plants, not meat.
