Description

While driving neat Little Redfish Lake in Idaho we spotted this mule deer buck.

Mule Deer are one the most exciting and beautiful big game animals in the world. Mule deer originally received their name because of their large ears, which resemble that of a mule. They have incredible hearing, great noses and excellent eyesight. Their current range is very large, encompassing the Western United States from the Great Plains to the westernmost states and from northern Mexico to southern Canada. Mule deer habitat inside this large area is also very diverse as mule deer are very adaptable to a wide variety of different vegetation types. The following lists the nine different types of areas mule deer inhabit: Canadian Boreal Forest, Northern Mountain, Colorado Plateau, Sagebrush Steppe, Great Basin, Great Plains, Semi-desert Shrub, California Chaparral, and Mojave/Sonora Desert. Mule deer are the largest of the five types of deer (mule, whitetail, Columbia blacktail, Sitka blacktail, and Couses') in North America. An extremely large buck can stand 42 inches at the shoulder, measure 7 feet long and weigh up to 330 pounds, with the average mature buck usually weighing between 200-250 pounds. If given the chance, mule deer can live up to approximately 12 years of age.
