The White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), also known as the Virginia deer, is a medium-sized deer found throughout most of the contiguous United States, southern Canada and as far south as Panama. It is most common in the eastern portion of its range, and is absent from much of the western United States, including Nevada, Utah and most of California. It can adapt to a variety of habitats from desert-like climates in Arizona and New Mexico to the mountains of West Virginia. (from Wikipedia)
