Whitetail deer

Whitetail deer was introduced to Finland in 1930’s. It was brought here from the northern ranges of USA by Finnish emigrants. The subspecies we have (Odocoileus virginianus var. Borealis) is the heaviest one, but also produces the biggest antlers.

You hunt it mostly from stands. During the rut in November you can stalk and use a grunting call.
