A year in the lives of desert mule deer

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.
Bob

I notice a change to the pool, and that there is now a hose feeding it. I read in previous videos that you used to clean and refill regularly. I hope you are well, and the maintenance is still doable for you. 40 odd years must be starting to be a challenge.

Love your wildlife. For sure, if I die, I don't want to come back as a deer. They are so nervous, I guess everything wants to eat them.

Lovely. Must have taken some time to edit this together. Thanks so much and take care.

My husband and I live in Oro Valley, AZ, and installed an inexpensive trail cam by our small pond, which is adjacent to the CDO wash. Although we do get lots of wild life, I haven't seen a mule deer yet. What section of Tucson do you live in? I love your videos and am now thinking about getting a larger pond and better trail cam. I am always surprised at the abundance of flora and fauna in the beautiful Sonoran Desert!
