There was some good discussion of this on This Week in Virology. One of the weirder facts is that deer don't seem to have dominant strains and (their equivalent) of OG, delta, omicron, etc. are all present in the population. Though these are all heavily modified so that they actually reproduce in deer.
This is one of the reasons that eradication for COVID was and is basically an impossible goal. You'd have to also clear it from all sorts of reservoir species.
