Neat mule deer pics from a blind

[Bitmap]

My dad took these while we were sitting in a blind early one morning last week. Some of these came up within 10 yards of us and they hung around for 20 minutes or so. I was hoping that a big buck would join them but no such luck.

Here is part of the herd. There were 7 total but they were spread out enough that we couldn't get them all in one pic.


Here is a spike buck and a 2x2 play fighting. The spike had just backed off when the pic was taken.


Here is a doe licking her fawn.


Here is the little 2x2 looking up at us.


Here is a little fawn.

Nice pictures, how are mule deer populations in your area?

They seem to be down quite a bit from the last couple of years.
