Mule Deer

Odocoileus hemionus

Habitat:

We live in pine forest in the foothills of Denver.

Notes:

These 4 bucks look like they've just lost their antlers, and the first one seems to have some wear and tear! They were down below our deck for a couple hours, just enjoying the beautiful day! I have to say the 3 laying with their legs splayed make me think of giant kangaroos!! (those ears help!!) ;-)

Ya...I put one more picture that didn't load...of him...he was a beauty...the other 3 looked younger...the 5th pic shows some of the scarring...I think he's old and master of his domain...that's why he's alone... ;-)

Oh wow! This male looks like he's missing something... He looks a little rough around the edges from the rut. I bet it's nice to not carry that weight around for a while!
