What's the difference in a blacktail and a mulies tongue? I've never heard that was a way to tell them apart.

I was in patchy snow around 4000 feet...then the trail turned and headed along the north side and that was all solid up to where it broke back out on the ridge on the south west side it was back to patches I turned around after I seen the buck figured I had pushed my luck...no fun hiking snow

Mulies tongues are pinkish. Blacktails are pinkish. That tongue is pinkish so it must be a combo of both.  :chuckle:  :hello:
