Trust me, when a doe and her fawns stroll through the yard I can identify
the species. There are muleys on Mt Sentinel that occasionally drift into
the university area but the bulk are whitetails.

White tails and mule deer even move differently.

What's really weird (to me anyhow) is that mule deer are basically the same
size throughout their range, whereas white tails are tiny in Florida and
huge in Canada (get bigger as you go further north). If I remember right, in
Montana white tails and mulies are pretty much the same size (maybe the
mulies are a little bigger). I always considered white tails "graceful"
leapers where mule deer looked like they were on pogo sticks when they ran.
