Through customer requests and study of live deer we offer color variations for several of the whitetail eye series.Whitetail deer, just like humans, have eye coloration that can vary because of age, location, habitat and genetics.
In many eye series, there are four color versions that can be used for whitetail. These versions include "light" featuring a caramel brown colored iris, "medium" or "deer" with a medium brown coloration, "dark" which is dark brown and a deer / antelope version which is a very dark brown with a slight hint of red.
In general, the lighter the eye, the easier it is to see the pupil. In the light version the pupil shows very well, As the eye gets darker, the pupil is blended into the overall color until finally in the deer / antelope version, it is hard to identify the veins and pupil.
