Mule deer bucks pause on the plains

It appears I interrupted these two big guys as they grazed on the plains. Honestly, had they not picked up their heads, I likely would have missed them as they blend in quite well with the brown brush surrounding them.

Mule deer are quite common here in Colorado, found anywhere from the plains to the high country. It won’t be long and these guys’ antlers will be falling off and in fact, I have seen a few already that have lost them.
