A large 8-point whitetail demonstrates rutting behavior including intimidation, scraping, and lip curl.
Here a large 8-point buck demonstrates the classical behavior of buck deer during the rut. He is first seen jousting a little with a younger buck. Bucks normally fight only those around their own size. It is obvious by the submissive behavior of the young buck and the majestic stance of the larger buck, which is stronger.
The buck then inspects under a tree for odor, which tells him not only who has been around but also the mating state of female deer. He then gives a classic scrape. This normally begins with a buck pulling branches with his antlers and mouth. Thus, he leaves a general indication of his height and size. He then scrapes the ground with his hoofs, which lets deer know he has been there, probably passes by frequently, and if someone wants to meet him to call on him in this area. Female deer may leave scent markings in his scrapped area. Later he shows a classic lip curl posture with his head held high and upper lip curled upward.
** Some of the world's largest bucks live in Ohio. 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. In second place is the legendary "Hole in the Horn," found dead in Ohio in 1940, however, many whitetail experts think that it is actually the largest set of whitetail deer antlers in history. It may be the most famous whitetail known.
The male white-tailed deer, or buck (Odocoileus virginianus - normally called the whitetail), can weigh up to around 500 pounds http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:7cLce5HsdasJ:espn.go.com/outdoors/huntin...
and the female up to 175 pounds. Males of one year or older have antlers. Young bucks with very small antlers are called button bucks. 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. The piebald or white deer, a deer having more white than normal but not an albino, is very rare.
Deer have an amazing assortment of communicative signs. Approximately 100 different vocalizations have been recorded, such as tending grunts, dominant grunts, bleats, and many others. They make extensive use of sign language. The whitetail is found throughout most of the U.S., southern Canada, Central America, and in the northern portions of South America. It is a generalist, which can adapt to a wide variety of habitats, including woodland, open savanna, and even sage areas.
