Whitetail deer are called bucks. One of the most widespread deer species in North America, they are distinguished by their unique white tail, which they utilize to alert other deer to danger. Antlers are particularly conspicuous in male whitetail deer, and they develop and shed them each year as part of their social and reproductive activities.
In terms of hunting, male whitetail deer are frequently the hunters' first choice because they are seen to be a better food source than female deer and typically have longer antlers.
