Mule deer grazing in Oregon’s Coastal Range. Photo: KGilb.
I’m always amazed at the abundance of wildlife here in the Pacific NW. We saw this little darlin’ late one afternoon as we were getting ready to leave Oregon’s coastal range and head inland. He just stepped out from the trees at the edge of a little meadow and started grazing. I’m no expert, but he does has the “forked” antlers and black-tipped tail that matches the description of a mule deer. Though if anyone out there knows for sure, I welcome your comments.
