Facts About White-tailed Deer
White-tailed deer are native to almost every continent with the exception of Australia and Antarctica. They can be found in many habitats, but prefer woodland areas for shelter and food sources. In Southeast Louisiana swamps make good places for deer to hide out during the hunting season, and pines provide shelter and warm bedding material during the colder months. Deer are typically most active near dawn and dusk.
