Hmmm.....I don't mean to be critical, but this is a family of Whitetailed Deer,
not Mule Deer. Notice the tail, Mule Deer have a short, all white tail, with a
black tip on the end. Mule deer also have Bifucated antlers, meaning more than
one fork. Whitetails such as those pictured here antlers that have a sinlgle
main beam, and tines pointing out form it.
