Buck.... male

I left the location out on purpose, because we shouldn't have whitetail here on the coast. But when I saw him, antlers, distinctive white circles around the eyes, I immediately thought whitetail too. I sent the pictures to my husband who showed them to several guys at his work who all agreed it looked like a whitetail. So I'm not nuts. If he's not a whitetail, and he shouldn't be, then he is the most whitetail looking blacktail/mulie I have ever seen.

that faded white ring around the nose for and the antler structure was a dead give away.

Here are some of the differences:

Whitetail that gives me a sore neck, same sore neck I get road hunting in steep terrain.

Have seen Black-tailed deer on the Island with early growth horn in that configuration ....
You'd think they were Whitetails ....

Antlers are a guideline but never definitive, ever, in species ID.

White belly, white inner legs, white eye/nose rings, small ears, and the horse face mean much more.

Small ears are a give away for white tail

Caddisguy has some WT on his trail cam in region 2, so there is no reason to doubt it could be coastal
