Central Oregon Mule Deer

Howdy!
  I know, It’s been a while. 
I’ve been looking through some photos albums and i guess i lost track of time.
 I have some pictures  i want to show you, so pull up a seat and lets have a look.

One of my favorite things to do is take pictures of wildlife, and my favorite subject is the mule deer.  When I go fishing and hiking  i’m always on the lookout for wildlife of all kinds. For some reason when i spot a deer i always want to linger and watch. I usually have a camera handy so i take  some pictures if i can.

While mule deer numbers are not what they were when i was a kid, they are still common in Central Oregon and most of the western states.
The diverse landscape of central Oregon provides habitat for mule deer as well as Pronghorn antelope, elk, bighorn sheep  and even a few blacktail deer on the very edge of the Cascade mountains.

Due to encroachment by humans and numerous other  factors mule deer numbers are in decline.  Groups like Oregon Hunters Association  and the Mule deer foundation work diligently to enhance and protect  habitat to ensure the survival of the mule deer,blacktail deer and a host of other huntable and non game animals.

I have done many hours of  volunteer work for the conservation of deer and elk,  and i thoroughly enjoy doing my part to ensure the survival of all wildlife.
