A young, male, white-tailed deer is against a vibrant, green, soft-focused background in the forest. The animal is facing directly at the camera with a three quarter profile of its torso. The deer is colored in tones of brown and yellow, with some black on its head and ears. Its two antlers have no branching and appear as two straight spikes emerging from between the large ears.

The term “spike” refers to bucks (male deer) with antlers that do not branch.
