WHITE-TAIL DEER SHOULDER MOUNT
Odocoileus virginianus
The White-Tail Deer, known also as the Virginia Deer or simply as the Whitetail, is native to the Americas as far south as Peru, and has also been introduced into some countries in Europe (Finland, the Czech Republic) as well as New Zealand. At one time it was thought to have up to forty subspecies, but modern taxonomy places the figure at less than half that number. Its red-brown coat turns grey-white in fall and winter, and the antlers are only worn by the males, and something like one in 10,000 females. This is a handsome male, mounted on a mahogany plaque and standing 17 inches from the wall and 28 inches high overall.
