    ID the Mule Deer and ID the Blacktail Deer.

    I was trying to figure something out in another thread and it didn't quite work so well because of geography claims. So lets forget where the pic's were taken and base our opinions on what is on hand.









    Both deer are 'about' the same age as both had spikes. I shot both pics and know that the top Deer's horn was about half as tall as the others. Each picture was taken on July 30th 2008, 1 hr and 10 minutes apart. The metadata encrypted in the pics will confirm this.

    - The ears on the top deer are longer and not as round.
    - The ass difference is obvious.


    Which Deer is from which species then, or are they of the same?

    I would have to agree; Mulie then Blacktail!

    Hmmm not being familiar with the blacktail .. . just what is the difference between the 2 ? (pics) the ears are somewhat the same....hard to tell as the top ones are up , likewise with the tails/rumps . I would have callled them both mulies ..

    Re: ID the Mule Deer and ID the Blacktail Deer.

    Having now done a quick "google" on the blacktail deer ...it would seem that even the "experts" would have a hard time telling the differnce on at least some mulie/blacktail (without dna testing) as apperantly the mulie is a cross between the whitey and the blacktail ... so that would suggest to me that depending on which characteristics the animal had is how it would look ? too much thinking for me ... I 'll call them all Mulies ...even if the blacktails are stunted little suckers ...
