deer
Deer (singular and plural) are the ruminant mammals forming the family Cervidae. Species in the family include the white-tailed deer, mule deer (such as the black-tailed deer), elk, moose, red deer, reindeer (caribou), fallow deer, roe deer, pudú and chital. Male deer of all species (except the Chinese water deer) and female reindeer grow and shed new antlers each year. In this they differ from permanently horned animals, such as antelope, which are in the same order as deer and may bear a superficial resemblance to them.
The musk deer of Asia and water chevrotain (or mouse deer) of tropical African and Asian forests are not usually regarded as true deer and form their own families: Moschidae and Tragulidae, respectively.
Anyone hunting this weekend notice any difference? I'm worried the snowpocalypse made a dent in the population in my area (Northwest OR).
I went Sunday and all I got was wet shoes, although I did see some semi-fresh droppings.
Hunting story thread I guess, here's my pic from Sunday (only...
Here is my question. I will be accompanying my son on a controlled deer hunt next week. He drew a tag but i did not. I understand that the law does not allow me to carry a centerfire rifle without a tag for this hunt. Here is what the regs say. Am I safe to assume that a centerfire handgun will...
So, I drew Paulina unit again this year, but none of my hunting buddies put in. I'm not sure why I have drawn it twice on my own and once as a group in the last 3 years. I am hunting solo, if anybody else is doing the solo thing let me know and we can get together. I have been very fortunate...
Just figured I'd post some surprising habits of animals... feel free to post your own or chime in!
Bald Eagle Attacks a Swimming Deer — National Geographic
Ive owned a bunch of hunting rifles. Deer, especially mule deer and whitetails (most recently), are my favorite game. Naturally, deer rifles are my thing. Other types of guns are tools to me, but deer rifles are an obsession. Because of the desire to find the perfect rifle, Ive been a...

8 months old and well taken care of. Less than two hundred rounds fired through it.
This is a sub MOA carbon fiber masterpiece. Made in Utah. 18inch, hand-lapped (from factory) match barrel. Carbon fiber barrels last considerably longer than traditional, much stiffer, and dissipates...
This is going to be the first year I hunt the western Washington Modern Firearm season with a muzzle loader for part of the season (Friend has a large ammount of land in the Battle Ground unit thats firearm restricted). I plan on using a completely North West legal muzzle loader so that if it...

Already started scouting in a couple of places along the coastal range. I don't expect anyone to give away their hunting spots or anything like that. I am just really looking forward to my first hunting season and wanted to share with somebody as my wife doesn't really share my hunting passion.
I have a problem buck on my 2.3 acres and seek a bow or muzzle load hunter who needs to fill a deer tag. -It's damaging my trees. Local hunters preferred.
It is near Battle Ground. You keep the deer of course.
Its an easy shot, as I can walk within 50-60 feet of it.
There are several big does...

I hate hunting on public land! Came close on a couple of occasions, but, no horns and no shooting opportunities. For 6 years now, I have not been able to help my son get his first buck on public land. Not a happy camper! Hoping for a...
Hello, fellow hunters. My name is Doug and I am a landowner in Columbia Basin Unit (144) with over 2,000 acres nestled right above the Umatilla River west of Pendleton, Oregon. I want to be respectful of the forum and not post where its not appropriate, but I did not see a section on land...
