Mule Deer Buck - Burn Area These two mule deer bucks are foraging in a burn area at sunset. They still have velvet on their antlers, but soon they will be looking for small saplings to rub the seasonal fur off their antlers and will be getting ready for the rut (mating season).

    I love how you not only photograph but also share the story of the spotting, and educate in the process. Posted 11 years ago
