If you encounter more than one of either gender close to each other, it is by pure random, or because multiple animals were attracted by the same lure. Unlike many other deer species, all Whitetail bucks and does spawn and travel alone. A majestic buck is always a welcomed trophy on any hunt, even if you are after other animals. It can be found in all "American" based maps. The Whitetail Deer is the animal with the greatest spread over the EHR reserves. Trophy Non-Typical Whitetail Deer buck from winzu52 scoring 339.844 Trophy Whitetail Deer buck from steelfire scoring 206.497 Fossil records indicate that its basic structure has not changed in four million years. The white-tailed deer is well-suited for its environment. The westernmost population of the species, known as the Columbian white-tailed deer, once was widespread in the mixed forests along the Willamette and Cowlitz River valleys of western Oregon and southwestern Washington, but today its numbers have been considerably reduced, and it is classified as near-threatened.


Populations of deer around the Great Lakes have also expanded their range northwards, due to conversion of land to agricultural uses favoring more deciduous vegetation, and local caribou and moose populations. The conversion of land adjacent to the northern Rockies into agriculture use and partial clear-cutting of coniferous trees (resulting in widespread deciduous vegetation) has been favorable to the white-tailed deer and has pushed its distribution to as far north as Prince George, British Columbia. It does, however, survive in aspen parklands and deciduous river bottomlands within the central and northern Great Plains, and in mixed deciduous riparian corridors, river valley bottomlands, and lower foothills of the northern Rocky Mountain regions from South Dakota and Wyoming to southeastern British Columbia, including the Montana Valley and Foothill grasslands. The species is most common east of the Rocky Mountains, and is absent from much of the western United States, including Nevada, Utah, California, Hawaii, and Alaska (though its close relatives, the mule deer and black-tailed deer Odocoileus hemionus, can be found there). It is the most sought after big-game animal in the world. It has also been introduced to New Zealand and some countries in Europe, such as Finland and the Czech Republic.

The white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), also known as the Virginia deer or simply as the whitetail, is a medium-sized deer native to the United States (all but five of the states), Canada, Mexico, Central America, and in South America as far south as Peru.
