As the days grow shorter deer grow a winter coat that consists of coarser guard hairs for added insulation when the snows arrive with the colder temperatures. The coloration also changes from the reddish coat of summer to the dull gray-brown that is now common.
In the picture below is an adult male whitetail and he's blending-in perfectly with the fall foliage - his camouflage doing a remarkable job of concealment.
With the exception of his little forked antlers giving away his location.
Smokey Joe had a close encounter with this animal last weekend just missing an opportunity to take him with a bow.
