I'm going with a fallow deer, that identifies as a whitetail. You can't disagree or else you're a deer-racist.
Confused on this deer what say you

That was my first thought. Would like to see a better pic of the antlers. The top part is kind of cut off.

This is a Sika deer.

Lived in Maryland a few years and have killed Sika and Fallow deer. I'm leaning Sika.
Back in the 1960s and '70s a private zoo near Jackson had several of both species get loose after the owner died. I wrote an article featuring a Memphis hunter back in the mid-1980s for Tennessee Sportsman. He had a couple of Fallow deer mounted that he killed somewhere between Jackson and Humboldt. He had a Sika rack from that area, too.

Can confirm. Hunted there in 2020. Saw lots of Sika.
Self defense. That thing was charging me. Prove me wrong.

Looks like a Sika to me.
A guy near Chickasaw St park has multiple exotic species. Not sure about Sika, but he has fallow, elk, sheep, rams, buffalo, etc. But its on the West end of the state.
