Description
This Buck Mule Deer is in � Velvet.� Our Mulies have fallen on hard times, population wise in the past two to three decades. Once overly abundant in the 50s and 60s they fell in numbers from hunting pressure in the 70s and after several severely winters in the 80s many were found in the wintering grounds frozen with their dead bodies seen curled around the sage brush on the hill sides. Following this their population was further decimated by chronic wasting decease, and during this time the division of wildlife reduced the kill by eliminating the sale of �spikes� for hunting season. In recent years the population has increased. The largest �timber bucks� are increasing in number but rarely can be captured this close. They have been none to stick their tongues at us from 500 to 600 yards. This buck appears to be four years old if the old adage pertaining to the number of horns on his rack is true.
