Those deer are just regular old white-wire deer, the old kind you can get real cheap.
My daughter and I spray-painted them last year to look more like real deer. We experimented with brown, tan, copper, and a few other colors. We found the tan-like look was good, I used cream on the antlers, on some deer I put a brown undercoat followed by some lighter shades.
The paint covers the bulbs too, which are too bright otherwise. Anyway, wanted you to know because anybody can do that to their deer, and then you don't have to spend extra for those brown grapevine deer.
I do like the new sculptures which have the "glass bead wire" wrapping which pick up the light and spread it out.
I have a 20-foot pole (a stick stuck on the end of a 8-16 foot extendable pool cleaning pole), and I stand on the porch roof and hook the light using a metal hook made from wire (like a coat hanger). THen I just work it back and forth down, sometimes with my wife pulling the wires from below and walking back and forth. It's the hardest thing I do on the house, I wish I could work around the tree better but it's over 40 feet to the ground on the far side of the tree.
Thanks for the tips on the deer. Now that you explained it, they do show their color quite well.
I'll be hitting the Christmas Clearance sales for the el-cheapo wire ones, for sure!
I have a 30' White Pine that's at the intersection of my drive way and near the side door, though it's a straight shot from the road, so I thought that tree alone, filled with lights, would be just gorgeous for us (inside, because you can see it from the window at the bottom of the stairway) and for those traveling by. The lighted deer would look just perfect underneath.
Next year, for sure, that thing is going to be loaded with white lights. Maybe if I start in July... :)
