Some days the Mule Deer show themselves, while other days they do not. Saturday was a day to show themselves, and it just happened to be a snowy day here in the high desert. The buck was funny, he did hide his head, or tried the best he could at first. After some time of just watching him, snapping some photographs he must of figured I was ok and not there to hurt him for he came out in the open long enough for me to get quite a few shots, adjusting my lens as I went. With his breath seen and the one antler looking like it does.... he is unique looking! The does and the older fawn stopped long enough for me to snap some photographs as well. For those new to Mule Deer. The Mule Deer are very big deer. They are called Mule Deer due to their very large ears.

Mule Deer Doe Jumping and Running. We see many mule deer here. This mule deer doe kept my attention on her so the others could take off running. When they were out of site she took off running and jumping too!

The mule deer have their own personalities. This is a given to us who watch them, photograph them. Here are some shots I got of the Mule Deer hiding behind the juniper trees and brush or peeking out of where they can to watch me watching them! One doe is so afraid she is still eating HAHA! The bucks are now loosing their antlers as seen in another one of my posts. I do worry for the young, it is winter time. Not a good time for young to be born or for the older young who are not experienced with getting away from hungry predators. But the way the world works when the older, experienced bucks are the ones the hunters want, leaving their duties to the younger inexperienced bucks.

This mule deer was caught with the canyon in the back ground. It is amazing how sure footed these creatures are within the canyon!

One thing about wildlife, they still have to get out in the weather and do their thing. Saturday we got snowed on. Wildlife was still doing their thing. Here are some of the mule deer photographs. Now the buck did not run, but he did not think it wise to stick around either. I am very happy that my canon camera has a nice body for this extreme weather!! My poor camera!! It gets rained on, snowed on, than we have the other extremes of high, dry temperatures here in the high desert.

We found ourselves the only ones down in the canyon and came across these mule deer taking it easy. As you can see they really did not want to get up!

Photographs like these do not come around a whole lot. This is a set of photographs of the Mule Deer and Faith, Hope and Charity commonly known as The Sisters Mountains. Everyone who follows me knows how I feel about nature and wildlife and to get these photographs I am rather tickled. At the right place, and the right time.

Mule Deer Bucks. Found these guys up in the Ochoco Mountains yesterday on our outing.

Mule Deer Fawn. Blends in pretty well!

Mule Deer Doe. Bow hunting is in full swing now, but this doe was just resting. Not as many hunters out as we thought there would be, so it was good for me for photographs!

As we were down in the canyon (Lake Billy Chinook), I just happened to look up and found these mule deer spying on us. When visitors leave the wildlife do not hide like they do when the visitors are here. They are more apt to show themselves. They were funny for they were using the canyon rocks to hide behind! I captured the two who came out from the rocks to show themselves.

ICU! This is a Mule Deer Doe

Busy Mother. It looks like there is at least two generation of young mule deer here.

Just a fun photograph

Big boy!!

To see what he can see. This mule deer buck really was curious as to what I was doing and he liked the tree in which he was using for security!

I liked this buck for he was acting as if just another family man. Being goofy in one photo, and being a proud papa in another. He towered over the young ones, one of the photographs show this. Not the biggest buck I have captured with the camera, just another one who had a lot of character!

We love to go into the Ochoco Mountains. This day was no different! We took this "side" road, well road is used rather lightly in some parts of Oregon where we go. The road was getting smaller and smaller!......
