Terms for young deer vary similarly, with that of most smaller species being
called a "fawn" and that of most larger species "calf;" young of the smallest
kinds may be a kid.
Deer (singular and plural) are the ruminant mammals forming the family
Cervidae. Species in the Cervidae family include white-tailed deer, mule deer
such as black-tailed deer, elk, moose, red deer, reindeer (caribou), fallow
deer, roe deer and chital. Male deer of all species and also female reindeer
grow and shed new antlers each year.
In 2006, hunters spent US$507 million hunting white-tailed deer in
Michigan. Deer hunting is a popular activity in the U.S. and generates revenue
for states and the federal government from the sales of licenses, permits and
tags. The 2006 survey by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that
license sales generate approximately $700 million annually.
