Let’s call this Mulie Monday!

This big boy is one of the stars of the show at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge. While his antlers don’t have a particularly large breadth, they are extraordinarily thick and definitely make him a fun one to photograph.

While rut is over, he was still quite interested in the does this past weekend, sticking close to two particular ladies. In the coming weeks, he will shed those antlers and then immediately start growing a new set in preparation for next fall.
