The awesome grace, power, and intelligence of the whitetail deer is demonstrated as they leap over a high wire fence clearing the barbed wire above it. Leaps over a 5 foot high fence are shown in slow and regular motion.After the last deer jumped the fence, she looked back at the horses. Then she went up the hill a ways and turned her head again to look at the horses. She looked like she wondered why the horses didn't jump over their confining fence.The horses were watching her. The brown horse, especially, appeared to want to run with the deer.Also shows deer dance and frolic. Deer often do quite a bit of "dancing" in the spring.

Some of its world champion bucks have Boone and Crockett scores of over 300 points. Ohio's Beatty Buck may be the (or among the) largest ever taken by a hunter. That title of the largest whitetail, ever, in the record books belongs to the "Missouri Monarch," a 333-7/8 buck found dead on the side of a road in 1982 near St. Louis.

When the antlers begin to grow in the late spring, they are covered with a very vascular tissue known as velvet or moss. This drops off later. The Boone & Crockett scoring system is used to rate antlers or racks. Bucks shed their antlers at the end of breeding season (rut). Some female deer also have antlers.

It is a generalist, which can adapt to a wide variety of habitats, including woodland, open savanna, and even sage areas.
