Mark says, "The White Tailed Deer is a beautiful animal and a great success
story. When my father was a boy during the great depression, White
tailed were actually very hard to find in the forest because of
unregulated hunting. Thanks to successful conservation efforts, we can
now admire this amazing animal in many areas around the United States
(except the Southwest) if we are watching for them at dusk and dawn.
Did you know?
Deer can jump over 8 feet high!
They can jump over 30 feet long!
Males can weigh over 300 pounds!"
