WHITE-TAILED DEER
The whitetail has two seasonal coats. The spring/summer
coat is reddish tan, and relatively short, with a thin and wiry
hair texture. The winter coat is more grayish or even bluish
tan with heavy, long guard hairs and a thick undercoat
that provides excellent insulation. White patches are found
around the eyes, on the throat, belly, tail (underside), and
insides of the legs. Whitetails are active around the clock,
but less so during daylight hours. Most often, white-tailed
deer are on the move at dawn and dusk. This behavior can
prove hazardous to humans during the deer’s breeding season
in the fall. Drivers should pay special attention October
through December when traveling.
Ohio’s hunter education program is
designed for every age and ability,
and is run by some of the state’s
best and most knowledgeable
hunters.
