Thank you ForestDragon and Hema you are correct .
The range seems to be right also ,forest dragon.
Nice capture. This is one of the Mule Deer subspecies, however, I believe Odocoileus hemionus columbianus has a fully black tail. I have found a couple of references that have the comparisons. See here: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZssEbOKM8fw/Vf...
(many of the references are from hunting sites, but ID is still useful)
