Snow Storm Muley - National Bison Range, Montana A mature mule deer buck stops browsing through the willows to inspect the photographer during a snow storm in western Montana's National Bison Range. I stopped to explore this area while in the middle of a 500 mile drive from south-central Montana to north Idaho. I ended up stopping for about two hours to observe and photograph this mule deer buck along with several other deer. Well worth the detour.

    A side note, this snow storm dumped over a foot (0.3 meters) of snow in a single day in some areas. Posted 8 years ago

      That's crazy to think about. Rain so high up this time of year. I'm sure you'll more snow, just not when you want it... Posted 8 years ago
