Description
Two young Mule Deer in Waterton Canyon, Colorado, on a cloudy day in the fall. I was hiking down the canyon and just happened to see these to beauties looking over.
From the National Wildlife Federation: "Mule deer are among the most beloved and iconic wildlife of the American West. Found west of the Missouri River especially in the Rocky Mountain region of North America, mule deer get their name from their big, mule-like ears. For decades, western Colorado has been home to some of the country’s largest mule deer herds. Herds in a portion of northwestern Colorado were so prolific that the area was dubbed 'the mule-deer factory.' Now, declining deer populations have people wondering if the factory is running down. Mule deer populations have been dropping across the West for several years. State wildlife managers and wildlife groups are trying to determine what’s behind the declines in western Colorado."
