About the Coues Whitetail Deer (Odocoileus virginianus couesi)
The Coues Whitetail Deer (Odocoileus virginianus couesi) is often found in the southwestern U.S. (Arizona). The male Coues deer is often referred to as a ‘Buck”, producing antlers that are fully grown and shed once each year. Coues whitetail deer are smaller than the common whitetail deer in both body size and in antler size, by 35-40%. Their habitat is quite diverse, from forested areas to hotter, arid conditions. Coues deer have a specialized stomach that allows them to eat plants, shoots, and grasses as well as various mushrooms that are otherwise toxic to humans.
