WHITETAIL DEER

The whitetail deer is a medium-sized deer native to the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, and South America as far south as Peru and Bolivia. In the Americas, it is the most widely distributed wild ungulate.
In North America, the species is widely distributed east of the Rocky Mountains, but elsewhere, it is mostly replaced by the black-tailed or mule deer. In western North America, it is found in aspen park lands and deciduous river bottom lands within the central and northern Great Plains, and in mixed deciduous riparian corridors, river valley bottom lands, and lower foothills of the northern Rocky Mountain regions from South Dakota and Wyoming to southeastern British Columbia, including the Montana Valley and Foothill grasslands.
This book portrays the whitetail deer as an American game animal highly sought after and respected.
