Title: Whitetails v. Mulies and their personalities
Post by: Landowner on February 09, 2013, 06:13:32 PM: No antlers in these photos. But when I took these today from fairly close distances, I thought the outcome said a lot about the difference between whitails and mulies. The whitail looks alarmed, the mulie looks like she could care less.

The whitetails wound rather run from everything and never look back. Im not sure why they are so different.

Post by: hoyt2002 on February 11, 2013, 06:48:24 PM: Really. I've never hunted the blackies. Thats interesting I figured they would be more like muledeer. Good info to know if I ever try hunting them.
