Mule Deer

The Mule Deer (Odocoileus hemionus) Is named for its ears which appear like those of a mule. It is native to western North America.
Images in the Gallery are mainly from the Mule Deer Rut which occurs in my area the month of November. I generally start taking photos prior to the rut focusing on Bachelor Groups.

The best time of the year to photograph large Mule Deer Bucks is during the fall rut. For most areas of the country it will be during the month of November
