A large mule deer buck hides behind a fallen dead tree near Fort Davis Texas USA. The rut has led to fights for does and this buck while dominant has broken off an antler tine. A dominant male such as this one will breed many females while a lesser or younger buck will breed few if any does.

Over the years he will shed his antlers and get larger until he reaches full maturity, then will start declining antler quality. The west Texas mule deer is a smaller sub species, Odocoileus hemionus crooki, tending to have smaller bodies and antlers.

Deer, both muledeer and whitetail roam the mountains of west Texas. The Davis Mountains host a wide variety of flora and fauna. Located near Fort Davis, Marfa, McDonald Observatory, and the Hobby Eberly Telescope there is much to see and do in the area.
