SynonymsDerived termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Deer are the ruminant mammals forming the family Cervidae. They include for example Moose, Red Deer, Reindeer, Roe and Chital. Animals from related families within the order Artiodactyla (even-toed ungulates) are often also considered to be deer – these include muntjac and water deer. Male (and a few female) deer of all species (except the Chinese Water deer who only have short tusks instead) grow and shed new antlers each year – in this they differ from permanently horned animals such as antelope – these are in the same order as deer and may bear a superficial resemblance. The musk deer of Asia and Water Chevrotain (or Mouse Deer) of tropical African and Asian forests are not usually regarded as true deer and form their own families, Moschidae and Tragulidae, respectively.

GNU Free Documentation License Any good deer-resistant plants for a shade garden? Q. I am dealing with two problems in one here: 1. My front yard faces North and gets very little sun. 2. We have an outrageously large deer population that isn't too picky about food. I'm planning on creating two plots: one is about 2' by 10' and the other is a quarter-circle, about 5' in radius. Also, I live in Virginia, if that helps. Given that anything is better than nothing, suggest away! Flowering plants, decorative grasses, shrubs, herbs - I don't care!

Does anyone have any ideas for keeping the Deer (and Rabbits) from eating the tops off all my flowers? I have bought the big white bottle of rabbit repellent at Lowe's and they didn't work. I can't use a fence because the area is spread out. Thanks for any ideas Asked by peanut - Sun Jan 21 11:06:12 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. You know what I have heard works pretty well? Hang bars of smelly soap. I know quite a few instances where it worked to deter the deer. I am not sure if they used a specific brand, but whatever they used it was a very strong odor (not fruity but a soapy odor) Answered by Danielle B - Sun Jan 21 12:41:30 2007 Will whitetail buck deer grow antlers if they have been castrated?
Q. I have two 2 1/2 year old bucks. Last season they were very agressive durnig the rut. (October-January) I enjoy them mostly because of their antlers. In my home state law require that I keep captive deer until their death. But I am concerned about their agression. If some way they where to get out they could be very dangerous. This is why I want to castrate them to take away the aggression. Will this affect the growing of antlers? They are pets and are like big dogs most of the year. During and around the rut are the only time they are mean. Note: I do not recomend raiseing wild deer. Asked by Sam - Fri Aug 31 12:34:03 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. The effect of castration on antler development varies, depending on the age class of the deer and the stage of antler growth when the castration occurs. If a young fawn is castrated within the first few months, that deer will not develop pedicles and therefore never develop antlers. Older fawns that have been castrated have been documented of growing a permanent, small, knob-like mass of velvet. If an adult buck is castrated during antler growth and in the velvet, the lack of testosterone allows the velvet antlers to continue growing, omitting the velvet shedding stage and total ossification of antler. These antlers may go on growing for a long period of time creating large cactus racks. These antlers will not shed in the spring.
