This handsome young fellow is among the smaller bucks at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal. I have seen him a few times over the winter, usually keeping his distance from the older and much larger fellows. On this particular day, he and some of the does were grazing among the snow-covered grasses and shrubs. Mule Deer are quite common across the western half of North America. While this particular guy leads a charmed life on a wildlife refuge, they can be seen everywhere from the mountains to the plains.
