| Very white, white tail deer. Actually the white showing on their tail is a danger flag to all other deer in area, such as a red flag is to us. Normally the only time it is displayed is when the deer is nervous or feels threatened. jim |

| Thank you Jim! Question: You can see the center picture head of the deer looks more of a mule, [I mean horse/dunkey mule] LOL Is it because they are related to mule deer, or is it why the mule deer got its name? Konrad |

| Not sure about tht konrad, Does have a different looking head for some strange reason. They are not related though. jim. |

| >>Does have a different looking head for some strange reason<< Doesn't it! Some weeks ago when checking on a road kill, where a I believe a Coyote was feeding on, I couldn't believe what I'm seeing, a head like a donkey, just like these guys! You can see that the head is smaller and looking like a deer. |

| I think the difference is that of age. An older deer (especially bucks) tend to have a larger more elongated head compared to that of a yearling. |
