Mule Deer

I cam across this small herd of Mule Deer (Odocoileus hemionuson) the Hogback Trail north of Boulder. They slowly got closer and closer to me until they were less than 10 feet away. That shows how used to people they have become.













Read my previous post on Mule Deer to learn about their ecology.
