The Virginia deer still ranges from Maine to the Gulf states and from the Atlantic coast to the Rocky Mountains.
The white-tailed Virginia deer inhabits the bottom lands and the mule deer the more open country.
The Virginia deer is common in the bottomlands; a few beaver still frequent the remoter streams; in the higher portions are still a few black bears and pumas, besides the lynx, the Virginia varying hare, the woodchuck, the red and the fox squirrel and flying squirrels.
