Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) are easy to identify due to their large mule-like ears. They are brownish-gray in color, have a white rump patch and a small white tail with a black tip. The male deer grow antlers during the summer and fall and shed them each spring. The antlers split off from the main branch forming two branches, each branch has 2 or more tines.
Fun fact: Mule deer have no upper teeth, only a hard palate!
This video was obtained from February through November 2019 at the water hole in my Tucson, Arizona yard on a Bushnell trail cam.
Stay well.
