Your question caused me to do a little research, (just a little) I went to Wikipedia, and copied the Quote below. We have always just called them White-tailed Deer. But after you asked, I thought that there should be more to it than just White-tailed. "White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), also known as the Virginia deer, or simply as the whitetail, is a medium-sized deer native to most of the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, and northern portions of South America as far south as Peru. It has also been introduced to New Zealand and some countries in Europe such as Finland and Czech Republic." They are very plentiful in our area, actually there are so many that the authorities have made the rules for hunting them such that the harvest goes up each year. There are so many car Deer accidents that the deer population needs to be reduced. Tom
