RE: What is this deer?
It is a young fallow deer.
It is no different shooting one of those as it is shooting a young whitetail. There is no closed season on exotics. They are free ranging mostly in the hill country. They have an open season on them. Great eating!

RE: What is this deer?
just to reply about the taking of exotics, I have been hunting some private land and have had a fallow deer come across my path several times. whitetail are the only native deer to michigan so i did not know what to do about shooting it. after callaing the dnrabout it they informed me that any exotic running free can be shot on private land with no tagging required. of course they wanted to know where it was located so they could find where it escaped from and get there fine money for letting it escape.
