why do female deer have spots?????????

Baby deer, called fawns, have spots. Male deer, called bucks, are larger than females, called does. Bucks have horns, does do not.

Well for the most tender cut it is called the catfish loins.They  are located along the backbone just under the backstraps.On a adult sized deer it is around 10 to 12 inches long and 2 to 3 inches in diameter.the main choise for most people is the backstrap tenderloins.They run down the back on both sides of the deer.On the adult deer they are 20 to 25 inches long and 5 to 7 inches in diameter.Both are the best cuts but the catfish loins are buy far the best just isn't very much of them.Hope this has helped you.

I hunt three different counties in north ark. , baxter, randolph, and craighead. Not married, no family, so I have alot of hunting time. I assure you the rut is not over. I saw a nice 8+ pt. chasing a doe Saturday, and a 5 or 6 pt. chasing Sunday. Just a little FYI, I have about 10 or so guys that hunt up here in different areas, we were all in agreeance that the rut came in just a little later than normal. Obviously the earliest does may be done but theres always the late ones that are just coming into estrus now, so it should continue for a while. With the massive acorn crop this year the best setup would be around good white oak trees, outside of thickets; where trails converge, or natural funnels. That being said we had two bucks killed on food plots last week mid morning, so if the bucks are running you never really know where they'll be. I'd do a little scouting and try to find where the deer are feeding during the day or traveling to and fro. If your looking for that Big Boy that hides out, dive off into the thickest stuff you can shoot in around where deer are traveling or hanging out. Best of luck to ya!

Yes, they fall off and the next year they will grow back with a velvet covering, then the deer will rub it's horns against small brushes and branches to get the velvet off. When you walk in the forests , you can see some of the brushes that they have used to do this.***

Definately a white body with black stripes.  You can clearly see that if you look close :)\n\nAs to why they have stripes...

Well all animals attract the opposite sex by the female of the species coming on heat.This function allows the female to attract the male over a wide area.Usually a dominant male breeds most of the females,this ensures that the resulting offspring are strong and healthy

Sadly, deer have an excellent sense of smell. Anything in the air that is different will warn them. Sadly, simple things such as deodorant, laundry detergent and toothpaste can be enough to spook a deer. I know of many old time hunters who were successful deer hunters that did everything to avoid man-made scent. This would include brushing their teeth with baking soda, not using deodorant and burying their hunting clothes under a manure pile. I never saw them take a thermos of coffee or food into the field. They would leave their food and coffee in their truck and go back to eat when they were hungry or felt the deer were not going to be in their area.\n\nWhat your dad would really appreciate after a long day in the field is a nice hot kettle of stew. It's nice and hot and tasty.

i think you're referring to deer stands and their use.\n\na deer doesn't perceive "threats" from above.  therefore, they would not look up to see incoming problems.\n\ni've seen them look "up" before.  would appear to be beyond the 15 degree mark stated.

What types of things do you have in your garden? Ducks are attracted to certain types of plants. My mom-in-law had a similar duck problem. They liked to come & pop the tops off of her marigolds. Why marigolds? Haven't the slightest clue since they stink!\n\nAnyway it is something they are attracted to.\n\n:)

A Lynxes ear tufts enhance thier hearing, acting kind of like antenna to pick up vibrations in the air. The reason why they have ear tufts is because of natural selection, the tufts give them an advantage in hunting so it is a desirable trait. There are other theories but they are not supported by evidence. One is that the tufts keep the lynxes ears from freezing in winter, but the Caracal also has ear tufts and does not experience winter, again it has also been supposed that the tufts help to confuse thier primary prey (Snowshoe hare) because they resemble rabbit ears, again the Caracal(desert lynx) who also has ear tufts does not hunt hares. The reason why they are black is anybody's guess it probably has to do with visibility and camoflage.

A woman goes to her doctor and says I have a few trees growing on my forehead, some graceful bushes on my top lip, a stream running down my cheek and a green pasture filled with bluebells all over what can it be?????\nThe doctor says it sounds like a beauty spot to me\n\nSee Links

You cannot change the spots on an animal.....get out of the relationship that started out deceitfully!!!

I typed albino deer into Google search.\n\nAlbino: Among the questions most often asked are "What causes some deer to be albinos?" "How common are they?" "Are they protected?" and "Can they reproduce?" Albinism is a recessive trait found in mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and even plants. These plants and animals do not have the gene for normal coloration and do not produce the enzyme responsible for skin, hair and tissue coloration. Albinism is the total absence of body pigment. The eyes of an albino are pink, because blood vessels behind the lenses show through the unpigmented irises. As you might guess, albinism is not a desirable trait for either predators or prey species. Being totally white year-round makes concealment difficult. Also, many albinos have poor eyesight. In the game of life, where survival of the fittest is the rule, albinos have a strike against them from the start. Perhaps that is why albinos are rare.Because albinism is a recessive trait, both parents must carry the gene before it can occur in their offspring. An albino deer bred to another albino would have only albinos. An albino bred to a normal deer with no recessive genes for albinism would produce all normally pigmented deer. Offspring from this cross would carry the recessive gene for albinism but would be normally colored. When carriers of albinism breed there is a one-in-four chance they will produce an albino fawn. Recessive genetic traits typically become less common unless they confer a survival advantage or are artificially enhanced through selective breeding. Based on hunter reports, about one deer in 30,000 is an albino. Not all white deer are true albinos. Some white whitetails have normally pigmented noses, eyes and hooves. This is a genetic mutation for hair color but not other pigments.

Different people have different preferences.  Some people even prefer deer meat from deer that eat different foods, kind of like honey, apple blossom, alfalfa, etc.  I myself will say it's all in the way the deer is cleaned and cooked.

Have a look at some of the photos of lion-tiger crosses (Liger) on yahoo images . They grow absolutely massive because of some hormonal inhibiting mechanism going 'a bit funny in the mix'

How come people show concern about it this much?  Like some other person said, for a big number of the world male population this is normal.  I think this is one of the things that have been recorded on people's mind, I swear.  Why there is not a lot of repulsion toward the female reproductive organ.  As I see it, there are more opportunities for it to be of concern.  A lot more of skin goin this way and the other.  A cavity for breeding of all kind of nasties.  But you know, I am not concerned, because I was not taught in that belief (maybe I should)

I have found this to be the best way to field dress a deer ,ans also the less messiest. keep in mind ive been hunting for over 30 years and have done this too many times to count . Before I go into detail here is a quick reference from my home state game and parks site on field dressing that may be of further help.\nhttp://www.ngpc.state.ne.us/hunting/guides/biggame/fieldcare.asp\n1.  I begin laying the deer on the top of a downward facing slope  \n     of a creek bed or hill or something. This will aid in the romoval \n     of the gut sac.\n2.  With a SHARP knifr make a cut in the skin of the belly just \n      above the pelvic bone area, Be carefull NOT to cut into the \n     gut sac.\n3.   Cut thru the skin up past the rib cage area to the bottom of \n      neck. I cut this far up to make removal of the esophagus \n      easier and less messy on you. The Espohagus will taint the\n      meat if it is not taken out and since I use the neck for roasts\n      I make sure to get it all.\n4.   Next I cut the skin down the pelvic bone area to the anus and \n      and cut out the anus\n5.   The next thing I do is to cut the gut sac lining from the rib\n      cage area again being carefull not to cut the sac open as\n      it too can taint the meat., Split the pelvic bone with your knife \n      or a small hatchet.\n6.   The next step is to simply roll the deer over so it is facing the\n      the downward and let gravity assist in the removal of the gut \n      sac. You may have to pull slightly on it but it wont take much.\n7.   I ALWAYS carry 2 gallon jugs of clean water in my truck to \n      wash out the cavity of the deer and wipe it out with an old \n      dish towel. Keeping the meat clean is part of good handling \n      techniques.\n8.   If you are like me and eat the liver and heart then you can\n      cut those from the stomach lining and rinse them off and put\n      them in a zip lock bag.\n9.   Depending on the time of year and temperature you may \n      want to go to wal mart and purchase a cheesecloth type deer\n      bag to help protect from dirt and bugs and cover the deer at\n      this point. Also if its warm stop at the closest quickie mart \n      and get a couple of bags of ice to put inside the cavity of the\n      deer to aid in quicker cooling. \n10. I didnt see anyone else mention this but this would be the \n      time to "TAG" your deer just in case you get stopped by one\n      of your friendly game and parks or DNR officials.\n\nThis is the quickest and easiest and less messy way I have found to field dress a deer. If its a trophy you want to mount DO NOT follow this procedure. I would suggest contacting the taxidermist who is going to mount it prior to field dressing many taxidermists have different ways they prefer an animal be dressed. I hope this helps and HAPPY HUNTING! Ive got 5 deer so far since bow season opened and today is opening day of rifle season.
